Sometimes, the best ornaments or decorations are the ones you make yourself or with a loved one. Making a new holiday ornament each year can be a great tradition to create special memories that store bought pieces just can't compete with. Here, Victoria Hudgins of the blog A Subtle Revelry demonstrates how to make a sweet and simple ornament or decoration for gifts that include three festive elements in one piece: animals, sparkle and tassels.

Victoria Hudgins of A Subtle Revelry explains:

Everything about Christmas should make us smile, including the tree! Craft up a few 'party animal' ornaments to quickly get into a joyful and festive mood. They easily lift a hurried holiday mood with every passing glance and would be great toppers for presents as well.
