Want to add a handmade touch to your Christmas tree this year?
Here’s a cute and easy idea to try: a transparent Christmas ornament decorated with a tiny tree, a pretty red bow, and a fancy button.
✂️ What you’ll need:
(Some links are affiliate links… because even bloggers have bills to pay!)
-
1 small decorative tree (or one modeled from air-dry clay)
🪡 How to make it:
Prepare the ornament
Open the clear ornament and place the little tree inside. Secure it at the bottom with a dab of hot glue.
Close and hang
Seal the ornament and thread a gold string through the top so you can hang it on your tree or a wreath.
Add the ribbon
Tie a beautiful red bow around the top of the ornament. Adjust the loops so it looks nice and even.
Decorate with the button
Glue the green button in the center of the bow — it adds an original and charming touch to your decoration.
Let it dry
Wait a few minutes for the glue to set before hanging your new creation.
And there you have it!
You’ve just made an elegant, personalized Christmas ornament — perfect for adding a handmade, vintage-style charm to your tree.
👉 Tip: You can switch up the ribbon and button colors to match your theme — silver, gold, forest green, blush pink, and more!
