3 Easy and Beautiful Homemade Christmas Ornaments
Learn how to make easy and beautiful homemade Christmas ornaments.
This year we decided to change up our Christmas tree decor. You know how expensive that can be.
The combination of new lights and decorations can add up to a lot of money and quickly.
But we really wanted a new look, we wanted something rustic with a woodsy feel to it.
And like last year, we are trying to keep the cost of Christmas decorating as inexpensive as possible. Which means we had to get creative in order to get a new look for our Christmas tree without breaking the bank.
3 Easy and Beautiful Homemade Christmas Ornaments
We made 3 different sets of homemade Christmas ornaments, that are not only easy to make, but inexpensive too! YAY!
My daughters and I sat down together last Saturday morning and made a bunch to fill our tree. Want to see how easy they are to make?

Deer Embroidery Hoop Ornaments
Supplies:
- Embroidery hoops
- Deer (We removed deer embellishments that were on clothespins. The same process as our Deer Wood Slice Ornaments.)
- Fabric
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
- Twine
Instructions:
Step 1: Open the embroidery hoop and insert fabric. Close the embroidery hoop while tugging the fabric, making sure the fabric is nice and tight.
Step 2: Use scissors to cut off the extra fabric.
Step 3: Hot glue the deer (or whichever embellishment you are using) on the fabric.
Step 4: Attach a piece of twine onto the embroidery hoop. And that’s it!

- Twine
Instructions:
Step 1: Use hot glue to attach pieces of twine onto the pine cones.
