Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing great today. I want to take some time and share with you different ideas to decorate your ornament. Sometimes little things cost the most. Christmas is when we spend the most, whether it is the gifts or the Christmas ornaments, Christmas decorations.

Today, I want to show you how to make different ornament décor that are spectacular and cheaper than buying readymade ornaments. It is easy steps and simple, and in no time, you will have beautiful ornaments.

Steps to Getting Your Hand Made Ornaments

To start with, you will need clear glass or plastic ornaments size of your choice. I purchased my clear ornaments from Hobby Lobby. They had fifty Percent On all clear ornaments. I bought two boxes; many different stores sell Clear glass or plastic ornaments like Dollar Tree or big lots.

First, I wanted to do an ornament in turquoise and pink color for my kid’s Christmas Tree, so I purchased Pink Glitter and turquoise mini sequins. Gorilla super glue and a small brush and brushed the Glue on the outside of the ornament.

For the comfortable handle I took off the top, I placed my baby finger in the opening; that way, I was not touching the outside of the ornament.

Second, I brought the Turquoise mini sequins, and I started to sprinkle them on the ornament, and it covered the whole ornament in Turquoise sequins.

The turquoise ornament’s look is truly spectacular, and it matches the theme of my kid’s room. In only two steps, we have a fantastic ornament. 


Were not done here, now it’s time to do the same process and make the pink glitter ornament.
Spread the Glue and then sprinkle the glitter and turn the ornament as you are sprinkling the glitter.

Now let’s try something different; I brushed the Glue on a small ornament. Then I started to dip the ornament that has Glue brushed all around It in the glass beads and covered the whole ornament with glass beads. 


After the ornament was covered in glass beads, I brought a white glitter and started to sprinkle the whole ornament to cover the open spaces where the beads did not cover, and here is your third ornament. 


I wanted to do this step again, but this time with a large ornament, I did the same steps again Glue, then dip in glass beads. But this time, I sprinkled Gold Glitter all around, and that gave the ornament a different feel; and I love both looks and can’t wait to place them in my tree.

I can not explain the feeling of making arts and crafts; it is truly relaxing, and the feeling that you genuinely feel proud of yourself at the end of the project.

Ornaments are the Salt and pepper of a Christmas Tree. If you do not have any ornaments, your tree looks empty, and if you have ornaments, they need someone that can afford them. Today, this blog aims to make things easier on all of us and show you that even if you can’t do all of the tree ornaments, you can at least do some of it.

Now I want to show you some more different ornaments ideas. I got a clear ornament. I removed the top and dropped in 2 or 3 drops of gorilla glue, and used it to brush it in the bottom only.

Then I brought white glitter that looked like snow and covered the Glue. I had mini gold flowers, and I placed them inside the ornament. Now for easy placement of the flowers, I folded the flower and inserted it in. 


Now the bottom of the ornament was completed. Moving on to the top of the ornament outside the ornament. I used the Glue and the brush and made five V shape around the head of the ornaments. Then, I started to sprinkle the glass beads and then the white glitter. 


And I did the same process, but this time on the top, I sprinkled gold glitter instead of the white glitter.

One last ornament décor idea is that we glue the ornament from the outside of it and then sprinkle rose gold glitter on the whole ornament. This time, I placed a white flower on top of the ornament, and here is the final ornament look. 


I hope you have enjoyed today’s blog, and I hope this has inspired you, and you make your ornaments. I am thrilled that I had the chance to show you my ideas. As always, stay safe.
