Inside: Over 100 easy DIY Christmas ornaments that kids can make. These handmade ornaments are great for gifting and make sweet keepsakes to hang on the tree!
Every year our family picks one day in December to get together for our annual ornament making party. One year we made orange pomanders, another we made candy cane ice skates. Last year we made “ugly sweaters” out of salt dough.
