10 Easy DIY Christmas Ornaments

I’m back with TEN DIY Christmas ornaments!! You may remember I did this last year with 10 DIFFERENT DIY ornaments, so you can find TWENTY DIY ornament ideas on this blog! This years are even easier to make than last years because I’m a mom now and ain’t nobody got time for a complicated DIY! Each of these could easilyyyy be made in 20 minutes or less!

If you’re wondering why in the world I would come up with 10 DIY ornaments two years in a row, here’s a little backstory:

A church in LA – Expression 58 does a charity fundraiser each year where they sell hundreds of ornaments all at different price points whose proceeds go to different causes – depending on which ornament you choose. It’s a really amazing event and I was asked to design the 10 ornaments for them to sell, then a bunch of volunteers replicated them to make the hundreds that they need. So, I had to make them very easy to make since we were going to have to make so many.

Anyways, I really did have a lot of fun making these so let’s get to it! I have a separate supply list and tutorial for each one!!
