How to make a beautiful Christmas Tree Snow Globe Ornament. An easy DIY craft tutorial idea for a keepsake ornament that you can enjoy every year!
Every year my side of the family does a Christmas Ornament Exchange. This is my favorite tradition at Christmas time. There are 7 kids in my family and my Mom. That means that we make 8 of the same ornament so we can exchange them and all have the same collection of ornaments. I love my family ornaments and they are great keepsakes. We have been doing it for about 10 years now so I have a great collection!
We have not exchanged our ornaments this year yet, so that means all of my family is getting a sneak peek. But they turned out so cute that I wanted to share them with you so you would have the time to make some for yourself. The original idea came from Craftberry Bush. Her Ornament is really cute but I thought I would show you how to make your own. I also made a video tutorial so the process may be easier to follow.
These are the supplies I used to make the tags
To make the cute little bows, I used a fork. I found the instructions here.
To assemble them I started by writing my name and year on the back of the square and started layering using glue dots to hold everything in place.
I love how my Ornament turned out this year. I hope my family likes them.
