Christmas is a great time of year to dig out the crafts and make homemade ornaments with the kids. These ornaments are very easy and inexpensive to make.. . .

You’ll Need:
Wooden Dowel, cut into 5″ pieces
Acrylic Paints in various colors
12 mm eye hook screws

Paint the dowel piece red, leaving a bit of natural wood color showing for the facial area of your santa. Paint the face, add a beard, mustache, let it dry. Using a q-tip dab the paint onto the top of santa’s face, creating a hat, then add a pom pom using dabs of white paint. Alternatively, you could hot glue a mini white pom-pom onto the santa hat.

Add a few wisps of bangs coming out from under the hat.

If desired paint a sprig of holly near the top and add 3 little dots for holly berries. Let it dry, screw in an eye hook screw and attach a piece of ribbon or thread to hang the ornament.

👩‍🍳 About the Author

Melissa "Liss" Burnell started Budget101.com in 2001 because she needed it to exist — not because she saw a market opportunity. She was feeding a family of four on under $200 a month, and people kept asking how, so she started writing everything down.

That turned into 25 years of recipes, debt-busting strategies, and DIY content — including figuring out how to make 128 loads of laundry detergent for less than $2. Millions of families have quietly used this site to stretch a dollar without feeling like they're sacrificing anything. She's also the author of two bestselling budget cooking ebooks, available on Amazon.
