Last year my kids and I cut up a few old felted wool sweaters in my collection to make handmade felt Christmas tree ornaments to give to our loved ones at Christmas. But partway through, I realized that an even better gift for the families with children would be DIY Christmas ornament kits so that the children could make their own personalized ornaments!
Craft kits are a great gift and have been increasingly popular over the past few years. Unfortunately, they are usually expensive to buy or take a while to prepare for handmade versions.
That’s part of the reason why these DIY Christmas ornament kits are so great; they are very quick to assemble and, if you are using repurposed materials and scraps, like I was, they are also extremely inexpensive! And if you are eco-friendly like I am and love repurposing materials, you can just felt old wool sweaters in the washing machine for the main materials, and just raid your notions collections for scraps and odd bits and pieces to stick in the kits.
The kids that received our DIY Christmas ornament kits last year just LOVED them, and had so much fun decorating them however they pleased. Which is why I decided to make another tutorial, this time showing how to make your own DIY Christmas ornament kits to give to your favorite kiddos this holiday season. I even made a free printable instruction sheet to include in the kits so that the children will know exactly how to decorate and assemble these baubles.

Lisa, what a great idea! It never occured to me, but YESSS! these are way better than the already made ornaments! (And the lace version is sooo vintage-cute!) xoxo, Damjana
Thanks, Damjana! The kids had SO much fun decorating these, too, so it’s a great project all around! I also really liked those lace doily ones! I had a bunch of little crochet doilies like that that I inherited from my husband’s great aunt, and I never knew what to do with them. Well, I found one way! Haha!
