Christmas Just Got Crafty-Cool with These Ornaments

These striking no-sew ornaments from The Ornamental Girl are easy to put together, and so simple to personalize.  Simply choose some striking fabric, some decorative trim, and beads, and put them all together with straight pins and craft glue.  Your friends and family will be impressed by how professional these look.

Turn your favorite photos into ornaments and personalize your Christmas tree.  Simply print out your most loved snaps, and transfer them to painted wooden ornaments using a gel medium.  These have to sit over night to allow the medium to dry and the image to adhere, but these easy-to-replicate results are well worth the wait!

Put these ornaments together in a snap.  Simply glue a 3D cut out to a stained wooden ornament plaque (both available at craft stores) and hang.  If you have a little extra time, these would look wonderful painted, but if left unfinished they still have a charming, rustic look.

These vintage map ornaments are perfect for those who love origami.  They may take a few hours to put together, but they make a great movie night project.  It's easy to personalize these for friends and family members by using a map of their home town.

These adorable felt doves from Hectanooga can be stitched up quickly and easily with only minimal sewing skills.  Get creative with beads and embroidery floss and create beautiful, personalized ornaments for the whole family.  The pattern can be scaled up to create a larger ornament if you wish.

Make adorable glitter ornaments in your favorite colors.  These are fast and easy to make, and are visually striking whether left plain, or decorated with stickers.  To make these, you'll need some glass ornaments, which can be purchased online or in large craft stores around the holidays, a bottle of floor wax, and your favorite glitter.
