Handmade Ornaments for All Occasions

Making ornaments has always been one of my favorite arts and crafts projects. I have been making them for years. Most of the ornaments on this site are my own original creations.

Others were inspired by ornaments made by others and I added my own personal touches. Click on the photos or links below to find ideas, instructions, and photos for all kinds of wonderful handmade ornaments.

While you're looking, keep in mind that homemade ornaments have many more uses than just decorating a Christmas tree! Although I do make more Christmas ornaments than any other kind, I also really enjoy making other holiday ornaments too. Halloween ornaments are especially fun to make.

Also remember it's easy to adapt some seasonal ornaments to be appropriate for other holidays or occasions. Just change the colors or ribbons! Craft tip: Keep in mind that many craft supply stores only stock glass ornaments in the Fall months preceding Christmas. If you want to make glass ornaments throughout the year, you will need to stock up on these supplies when they are available.

Now let's take a look at the ornament array!
