Top 10 Tuesday: Handmade Ornament Ideas

I know many of you couldn’t hold out any longer and have already started decorating your tree! But for people like (eh-hem) ME who refuse to decorating for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, we still have a tiny bit of time to keep gathering some inspiration. I’m still not 100% sure how I’m going to decorate our tree this year. I think I’m going for a combo of store bought and handmade ornaments, but I’m starting to think I’m going to run out of time! Seriously, where is time going these days?

Here are 10 beautiful and creative handmade ornament ideas that I’ve come across lately.

1. Snow Glob Ornament from Craftberry Bush

2. Simple jute and music page ornaments from Too Much Time on My Hands

3. Rustic birch bark ornament from Alderberry Hill

4. Pine cone map ornament from Turtles and Tails

5. Love this idea from A Sorta Fairytale for a baby’s first Christmas ornament

6.Craftberry Bush did it again with these beautiful music page wreaths (she has a whole ornament series going, you should really check it out)

7. Button wreath from Martha Stewart

8. Love this simple and rustic fabric ornament from Under the Table and Dreaming

9. Snowy balloon ornaments from Martha Stewart

10. Lastly, love these ornaments made from magazines! All you  have to do is find pages with similar colors. Via Pinterest

 

Do you have an idea of how you will be decorating your tree this year? Are you doing all handmade ornaments or do you use a combination of things?

    Most of our Christmas tree decorations are hand me downs or things bought on the cheap last year, since it was our first year in our house. I was no where near as organized as I am now, so we just threw stuff wherever!

    This year…will probably be much the same. I don’t know if we’ll even have a tree because I fly home to my parents on the 16th!

June recap! Not as many projects happened, but I’ve been enjoying summer life with the kids and making memories. 

My trip back to Seattle was so needed and refreshing. Summer in Seattle is unmatched.

We took our first family trip to Possum Kingdom Lake in Texas and we all fell in love. 

The kids finished up summer baseball, summer track and now we get a little break before football and fall sports.

This outdoor mirror is absolutely stunning and very high quality. It would work well indoors too. I just love how it reflects the rest of the courtyard and you can see every angle in it.
