Have you put up your Christmas tree yet?
We put ours up over the weekend, and as we hung the ornaments, the ones that made us smile and brought back the sweetest memories were the ones we made together.
.
.
Here are five fun holiday ornaments my boys enjoyed making, and I think your family will have fun with it too.
You can keep them for your own tree, or gift them to loved ones.

1. Hydro-Dipped Painted Ornament
.
2. Hand-Print Ornament
This is a precious way to capture that sweet tiny handprint. These make me smile every time I hang them on my tree.
Directions:
- Paint your child’s fingers.
- Help them press their ‘painted’ fingers on the ornament.
- Clean your child’s hand.
- Let the paint dry.
- Use permanent markers to turn the fingerprints into snowmen.
- Add the date.
