Instead of buying new, expensive Christmas ornaments each year, why not make your own decorations to adorn your Christmas tree? Find 19 ideas here.
Crafting is just a part of the Christmas tradition in my family.
One of my favorite family traditions is our ornament exchange. Everyone designs and creates a handmade ornament and makes enough to share with everyone else. So every year I have new handmade ornaments, which are also keepsakes, hanging on our tree.
Here you will find all of my DIY ornaments with tutorials. I hope they inspire you to create your own handmade ornaments.
