After buying presents, food for the holiday meal, and a tree, there isn't always much left over for extras. This year we're trying to save money in my household - and have some fun - by making a lot of our own ornaments and decorations, but still want a modern look. Here are fifteen DIY ornaments that fit the bill:
1. Winter Wonderland Ornament: Craftberry Bush
2. Felt Ball Garland: My Sparkle
3. DIY 'Confetti System' Ornaments: A Lovely Lark
4. Felt Snow Ball Ornaments: The Purl Bee
5. Pom Pom Ornaments: Design Love Fest
6. Patterned Paint Marker Ornaments: Aesthetic Outburst
7. Faux Bois Vases: Centsational Girl
8. Felt Ogee Ornament: Betz White
9. Twine Snowflake: Fellow Fellow
10. Brass Tack Baubles: Fellow Fellow
11. Doily Star Tree-Topper: Martha Stewart
12. Accordion Paper Trees: Julep
13. Geometric Straw Ornament: Elsie Marley
14. Fur Wreath: Nesting Place
15. Flapper Trees: The House that Lars Built

Great group of offerings here, all of which bring back memories. Which is to say, I just gotta chuckle at your statement re wanting a 'modern look'. All things are become new ;) Delightful post in any event. Thanks.
Very lovely crafts!
Great to see holiday crafts that fit in with modern decor. Thanks!
Nice roundup. Thumbs up
Looks like I'm going to have a lot of crafts to do with my niece and nephew the next few weeks. Love ALL of these ideas!
The first one gives me ideas of doing a whole tree with different little scenes inside each ornament, but I hate that it's not shown step by step and is instead multiple pictures of the finish product with vague descriptions on how it was created.
Cute ideas. Got anything for Chanukah?
