Handmade Christmas Ornaments to Print and Color
Some of the fondest memories I have of my childhood are from making Christmas ornaments with my Mom and two sisters. Dad was around but he wasn’t very crafty so he just admired the results.
For several years, we handmade different ornaments each year. One year we painted on wood ornaments, another on ceramic ornaments. One year we sewed ornaments. I think we even did some once that were some type of plastic that you painted and then baked, and they would puff up. When I got older, I even cross-stitched some ornaments.
When my husband and I started about setting up our first real tree for our toddler, he said he used to do the same thing with his family. So, I set out to find some craft ornaments that weren’t too hard. I went to Michael’s (we don’t have a Hobby Lobby in New Orleans) and didn’t find much. Most were too hard for us, ’cause I need "paint-by-number" style help to actually paint ornaments. I did buy some foam cutouts that we had fun decorating with pictures.
My web search for Christmas ornaments crafts led me to discover mandalas, a detailed geometric design with an Indian background. These Christmas mandalas are perfect for coloring and hanging on your tree. There are 45 Christmas mandala ornaments to choose from.

I also found some cool links at Jamie Sue’s blog for more ornaments to make yourself.

I love these, if you cover them with sticky back plastic you can put a hole in them and make some fantastic ornaments for the tree. You can even make them up yourself and just draw them, or get your kids to draw some themselves.

Festive seasons have a special ring about them, and it certainly would be killing two birds with one stone; if one could share the joy of printing and coloring Christmas ornaments with their loved ones. Geometric prints are hassle free as they do not require any high definition print technology to execute, the basic home printer would suffice. Similar to color books, these vector graphics only require black ink – eliminating the need to purchase expensive color toner cartridges, keeping things relatively simple and straight forward. Certainly a very practical activity to carry out which is low in budget and aesthetically unique in nature once completed.
I have never done paint ornaments. I usually cross stitch some for our tree. I love your idea and thanks so much for the link to the paper ornaments. This will also make a great activity for the little ones.
