25 Best Handmade Christmas Ornaments

If you’ve spent any time here at Remodelaholic during the holidays, then you know at least one thing:  I love decorating for Christmas. This is going to sound crazy…but in my dreamworld, I’d get to pick a new Christmas decor theme every year and try out different colors and styles of ornaments!   In my real world, I have to stick to a budget and try to get a lot of use from the decorations I already have on hand.  If I want new ornaments, I have to make them myself.

And guess what?  Having handmade ornaments is pretty special.  I can’t wait for my girls to start bringing home little ornaments they’ve made at school and proudly hang them on the tree.  It’s really neat to use things we’ve made ourselves to celebrate such a joyful season.  That makes my real world pretty dreamy, after all.

I’m delighted to share some of my own favorite handmade ornaments with you today, along with some beautiful ornaments from around the web that have me itching to pull out the glue gun for this year’s round of Christmas Crafts.
