My grandma is SO into Christmas. It’s her very favorite holiday. Each year, we visit her house and eat a TON of carrot loaf and mashed carrots and carrot cake. YUM! I wanted to make her something very special, and very Christmas-y!
What you need:
Wooden ornament, acrylic paint, paintbrush, dish of water (to rinse off your brush between colors), place to hang your ornament to dry
What you do:
- Decide how you want to paint your ornament. I went with a pretty simple design that I know would work well with my grandma’s tree. She LOVES green and turquoise, so I knew I had to use lots of it!
- Paint your ornament carefully. Take your time and make the design gorgeous!
- If you’re using more than one color, or doing stripes, you might want to let the first color dry before starting the second one.
- When your ornament is totally done, hang it up to dry.
- Before you give your ornament to your recipient, tie a ribbon around the top.
My grandma is going to LOVE this!

Hey you can do this with styrofoam balls! I got some from a craft store once and they already have holes on the top so you can do whatever! I think I can use my styrofoam balls for this easily! Plus they’re cheaper!
I think styrofoam is hard to paint, though. Maybe you could decorate styrofoam balls with fabric strips or ribbons –or both.
Hey, I might try that myself.
I’m so excited about Christmas this year!
Hey! You know that looks like a fishing thing. Just paint it red and white, and volia! Give it to someone who loves to fish! Add me!
Great job! This is really neat! I love your crafts! :lol:
You know Roberta, your really talented! :D You should totally sell your crafts! I know I would buy them. ;)

I live near the sea , and this year, my 5th grade teacher told us that we could bring in our own shells 2 make handmade ornaments out of them, as a class project! Awesome!
We just put up our Christmas tree! My favorite ornament is a little wooden santa doll that my piano teacher gave me last year 4 Christmas before we moved. I miss my piano teacher so much…
What is your favorite ornament on the tree? Happy Holidays from DreamsComeTrue
my favourite ornament is a silver reindeer in a kind of ball that like a cage. it is not cruel. we have had it since i was little and that’s a long time. my mom said that she got it when she was younger, maybe that is why i like it.
Mine is my red robin that had a bell inside. My tradition is to buy one ornament each year. And we have alot of ornaments. This year i got a white bird whith silver feathers for the robin. So they could be friends! :D
