Handmade Christmas Ornaments Make Great Gifts
Welcome to my Handmade Ornaments Holiday Gift Guide!
Handmade Christmas ornaments make wonderful gift ideas, they also create wonderful family memories while you're creating them. They'll be cherished by the recipient (especially if it's a grandparent) way more than a purchased ornament ever would.
Easy Snowman Handmade Ornament
Here's a snowman ornament that's super simple to make! Just take a clear glass ornament, fill it with shredded paper, and add an orange felt carrot nose, a red felt scarf and stocking hat, and some felt circles to look like coal for a mouth and eyes.
It will look adorable hanging from a Christmas package, or tucked in a stocking on Christmas day.

- yes, although we have a set of ornaments added to year by year, we always have some handmade ones on the tree. Last year it was all hand-made with a victorian theme.
