Floral Ornaments Tutorial
Creating a DIY Floral Ornament: A Personal Touch for Your Holiday Tree
When our family moved to a new city a few years ago, we had to part with many belongings, including our tree and ornaments. With my son just 2 years old at the time, I saw it as a chance to start fresh—collecting and crafting new ornaments to make the season special.
Materials:
- Silk flowers - small ones work best for ornaments
- Clear plastic ornament ball
- Optional: Acrylic paint (antique gold)
- Optional: Paint brush
- Optional: RIbbon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flower: Remove flowers from their stems using scissors or by twisting them off. Trim the flower bases so they lie flat, if needed.
- Decorate the Ornament Base: Remove the silver cap and fill the ornament ball with flowers. Replace the cap when done.
- Final Touches: Paint lettering using acrylic paint
Optional Final Touches:
- Personalize: Add a small name tag or a mini photo to make it a keepsake.
- Add lettering: Paint words or names using acrylic paint
- Attach a Ribbon: Thread ribbon or twine through the ornament loop at the top. Tie a knot or bow for hanging.
