The inspiration behind creating this list, well, was to find something for myself.  My son (11yo) and I make the family some handmade ornament every Christmas.  I'm tired of our ornaments looking ‘sketchy,’ so I wanted to buy a DIY kit from an actual designer.  This is the one I chose!  I love Macrame, and I think we will have a blast making these together. Bonus points, there is a video link if we need additional instruction. Wish us luck!   #affiliate
Macrame Christmas Ornament Kit

These are so pretty, I imagine these ornaments would look great in a country cottage style home at Christmas.  You get to choose the 6 colors you want in your kit.  And the base wood circle has an outline of the decorative overlay so you know where to paint.  Just glue the overlay pattern on, and all done!   #affiliate

These look just like the craft projects I did with my mom when I was little!  Bonus points for using pipe cleaners :)  I think this craft look easy enough to do with the smaller kiddos.  #affiliate

This is so beautiful! The set comes with all the stuff you need for 15 ornaments, including brushes, wooden discs, paint, dotting tools, etc.  I feel like once you get this kit, you will have the tools you need to make more in the future.  You just need to buy more paint and the wooden disks. I would buy gingerbread men to ‘dot paint’ next!   #affiliate

String Art!  I've never seen this before!  But I don't get out much…  These are nice and modern and minimal.  You can get them individually, or as a set of 6.  I am a cross-stitcher, and these might be perfect for my son and I!   #affiliate

This one goes with those mushroom!  Same as the previous item, you revcieve the laser cut wood pieces, and you paint and glue them yourself.  These are affordable enough to get a few different ones, and craft with the family!   #affiliate

The ornaments from this Etsy shop are so unique, I think I would love to try my hand at making one myself.  This one specifically… I can taste the peppermint mmmmmm.  I don't think this would be a craft appropriate for the kiddos.  There are lots of pins!  #affiliate

This one is for a more season crafter I think. The kit includes everything you will need to make this set of 15 felt ornaments (felt, stuffing, embroidery floss, beads little drumsticks, glue, etc.)  I love this kit, and I have it in mind for next year.  I love the folk art style of these, and they give me nostalgic vibes.  But I'm not sure why!?   #affiliate

I love the aesthetic of these icicles, and I love that you use pliers and some elbow grease to make them.  You can buy these as a DIY set of 3 or just one at a time. #affiliate

This is fine work, so maybe just a craft for the adults with patience!  I love to cross-stitch, so this one is just perfect for me. There are so many different Christmas kits to choose from in this Etsy shop.  I was almost overwhelmed! Each ornament is sold separately.   #affiliate

When my step-daughter was young, we used these clear ball ornament packs one Christmas to make decorations for the family. We bought bottles of acrylic paints (just the primary colors and white and black) and some glitter, ribbon and little knick kna... Then glued the top shut and tied a pretty ribbon around it. That was a great (and easy!) craft!  #affiliate

I'm an avid cross-stitcher, and these are the kind of ornament gifts I give my family every year.  I usually stitch on cotton aida fabric and build the ornament (with stuffing too!). This style seems like a much easier way to do. These patterns look much more beginner friendly and quick to stitch.  This would be a great kit to buy if you are trying to get one of your kids into cross-stitching!  Or if you are a beginner stitcher :)   #affiliate
