[Christmas] Ornament ideas for decorating your tree and room (41–50)
Iron bead ornament
There are beginner kits for Perler beads, and they’re very convenient because they come with plenty of color variations from the start, such as 24 or 48 colors.
Speaking of Christmas-themed molds, the classics like gift boxes, snowmen, stockings, and snowflakes are easy to find.
When ironing, the trick is not to press too hard and to keep the temperature low to medium, using a dry setting.
It’s also a good idea to restock frequently used colors like white and black.
Making lots of the same design and lining them up looks cute too!
Santa Boots (Origami)
Why do we put out socks or boots to receive Christmas presents? There are various theories, but it seems to originate from a tale in which gold coins thrown to help a poor person happened to land in a stocking.
Decorating your tree with Santa boots—a classic Christmas motif—sounds lovely, too.
Try making your own Santa boots out of felt in any style you like.
It looks like you can also fold Santa boots with origami, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out some videos online!
straw himmeli
A himmeli is a mobile made of straw that originates from Finland in Northern Europe.
Also called a “mobile of light,” it was traditionally displayed during a festival called Joulu and, over time, came to be hung on Christmas trees as well.
Why not try making a himmeli with drinking straws? Cut the straws into pieces about 10 cm long and form a regular pentagon.
Thread string through them and arrange them into a star shape.
Fix the shape with glue so it doesn’t collapse, and you’re done.
There are also videos online that show how to make three-dimensional shapes using straws, so if you want to stand out from the crowd, be sure to check those out.
Tree (yarn)
Let’s make a stylish yarn Christmas tree like the ones you see at interior shops and general stores! You’ll need yarn, ball pins, construction paper, scissors, a circle cutter, and glue.
First, cut a circle out of the construction paper.
Make a slit from the edge to the center of the circle, then form it into a cone and secure it with glue.
Next, generously apply glue all over the cone.
Once it’s coated, start wrapping the yarn around it.
Finally, stick a ball pin into the top, and your chic yarn Christmas tree is complete!
Dreamcatcher
Here’s an idea for a dreamcatcher ornament that also works well as an accent piece.
A dreamcatcher is a decoration made by forming a ring from willow branches and stretching threads inside it in a web-like pattern.
Since it’s originally meant to be hung, if you make it in the traditional form, you can use it as an ornament as is.
By the way, dreamcatchers are believed to protect children from bad dreams and harm.
So they’re not just cute—they have meaning too.
Melt bead ornament
Melt beads is a technique where individual beads are fused together by heating them in an oven.
Instead of acrylic beads, use fuse beads (perler beads) for a clean bond.
For the mold, use a type of silicone that can withstand high temperatures to prevent it from sticking to the beads.
The result has glass-like colors and is very beautiful! After taking it out of the oven, make a hole with an awl and thread a string through it.
Since the air bubbles trapped inside the beads look lovely, it might be nice to try using transparent beads as well.
Wooden Stick Ornament
Just by combining wooden sticks, you can easily make cute Christmas ornaments! All you need are wooden sticks, colored tape, and your favorite sparkly stickers.
Use three sticks to form a triangle and secure it with glue.
Make another identical triangle and layer them to complete a star ornament.
If you overlap three sticks so they intersect at the center and glue them, you can also make a snowflake shape.
Decorate with star or stud-style stickers as you like, and hang them on the wall or your Christmas tree.
