This list of DIY Christmas Ornaments is perfect for anyone!

The weather is getting chilly outside, leaves are starting to fall and the Pumpkin Spice Lattes are out in full swing! Now is the perfect time to get the kids busy with making their very own DIY Christmas Ornaments.

To me, the best ornaments on my tree are the personal ones. The one with my dog’s pawprint who passed away. And the ones my daughter has made me throughout the years in school. With her little handprint and smiley face glued to it!

And if you don’t want to just stop with ornaments, check out these super fun Christmas Crafts for Kids! The reindeer pots are my favorite, and make a great teacher gift too!
