In the past, I have participated in a “Five in a Row” Christmas ornament swap with friends of ours in North Carolina. Last year, 2020, I decided to just make ornaments for my family and begin replacing all of the Christmas ornaments that we lost in the fire. Here are the ornaments that I made last year to match some of our favorite picture books:

Do you have a favorite Christmas ornament for your Christmas tree?
What is one of your favorite DIY Christmas traditions?
These are beautiful and such a lovely idea! We haven’t put up our Christmas tree just yet. I like to wait until after Thanksgiving. We do have some ornaments which we’ve collected over the years which remind us of treasured memories. I’ll keep an eye out for my favorites when we put up the tree. Even now with my kids being in their thirties, we all still remember some of our favorite children’s books we read when they were growing up. Enjoy your day!

Your replacement Ornaments have all turned out really great. Hand made ornaments are so special, and fun to collect. I can’t wait to see what you make this Christmas.

Beautiful ornaments! My favorite ornaments are the ones my kids make 🙂 This year I got them a wooden nativity to paint so I’m not sure how many new ornaments they’ll make but I’m sure we’ll have a few.
