Do you have one of those perfectly decorated trees like the ones at the mall? I LOVE those trees, they are so pretty! Our tree looks nothing like that, but still, I wouldn’t have it any other way because each ornament means something to me, especially the ones the kids make! I love watching them grow each year with hand or fingerprint designs and you can see their crafting abilities unfold and expand as the years go on! So we have a bit of a mish mash tree, some pretty balls, ornaments collected on our travels, stuff the kids made. It’s a bit of a puzzle but it’s our puzzle and our story and that’s what makes it special to us!
Looking for some fun ideas to craft up with the kids and hang on your tree this year? I’ve rounded up some really cute ideas to get you started!

Our tree is definitely not perfect but I love it the way it is – every ornament is special and has a memory with it. We wouldnt have it any other way!
The ornaments to be made are great without a lot of cost
Thank you Jennifer, for having this great giveaway!
I want to try the cinnamon ones because it makes your house smell amazing.
These are great craft ideas!!! My girls have been wanting to start Christmas crafts so I can totally use this. Thanks for sharing!
NO you didn’t!! OMG!! My boys are MINDCRAFT obsessed!! I’m totally making those for them this year!!
LOVE the melted snowman ornament, I am sure my kids would love making this one…and my son shaking it all around! I know what you mean about mall trees or trees in magazines – mine doesn’t look like those either but still love it for all the personal ornaments we have!
I love the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ornament, it’s so cute!
I gotta go with the TNMT ornament; one of my childhood favourites was watching the Green fight the bad guys.
Our tree is crusted and stuffed with ornaments. I think I’d like to try making the melted snowman ornaments!
