Easy Ideas for Homemade Christmas Ornaments

Christmas ornaments are quick and easy to make and you need very few supplies to do so. One quick and easy ornament you can make is from a bathroom tissue roll. Bathroom tissue rolls have an indentation, all the way around, so cut along this line. After doing so, you'll have a curly-q-type of design. Even up the sides, if necessary, by trimming off any points or uneven spots. Now cut the curly-q lengthways to make two sets.

Fold a piece of ribbon in half and glue it to the point of one roll, to use for a hanger. Use spray adhesive to cover the roll with glue then heavily sprinkle on glitter. Hang to allow drying time. When the glue is completely dry use hot glue to add strung beads along the edges. Add ribbon and bows to the hanger and you have a beautiful, sparkling ornament that is very unique.

Use four pipe cleaners and cris-cross them to form an "X" overlapped by another "X". There should be eight points to this "star". Glue in center where all pieces meet. Now string beads onto each of the eight sections of pipe cleaner. After all the beads are in place, and the pipe cleaner sections are completely covered, bend the eight ends up, arching them, to form a "ball". Use a piece of fishing twine and hook it to any trinket - a cross or a ceramic reindeer - so that it dangles in the center of the ball.

Hold the ball in one hand, squeezing it just enough so that all the ends touch together at the top. Place a large drop of hot glue on the top, making sure glue is on each of the eight ends, then lay a round piece of lace, a small metal washer, or another round object that will hold all eight ends in place. Paint the washer, or whatever you used, if desired. Fold a small piece of ribbon in half and hot glue it to the very center of the top of the ball. Attach a bow to complete.
