If you have leftover fabric from any orders you’ve been making this year, then you might be thinking ahead about how you can make some Christmas ornaments that look fantastic in your home and in the homes of others. 

Christmas ornaments aren’t just for your personal use, especially when you can give them to others as a labour of love. The cost of living crisis has meant we’re having to try to think of new ways to gift this year and Christmas ornaments are a great option. Decorating your whole house with handcrafted ornaments will make it stand out as unique, and you get the chance to use up the leftover material from your other projects.  

What is one of the best ways to add a personal touch to the holiday season? Being able to create decorative packs for others, too! Whether it’s you printing off tutorials of the options we have for you below or creating from these tutorials yourself, you can offer these items as gifts to your loved friends and family. 

They are fun and simple crafting projects that help to utilise that leftover fabric so you can create these adorable Christmas trees, candy cane and hexagon wreath ornaments. They look great on the tree, they look great strung up with ribbon and put around the room as bunting, but best of all, they look great in your home no matter what. 

Tree Ornament

All you need to make this cute little tree ornament is polyester filling and embroidery needle, a pen, pins and your uncanny ability to sew well. You can prepare yourself for this one early by making cardboard cut-outs of small Christmas trees so that you can use it as a guide to help you to cut out the fabric. You don’t have to necessarily go with any particular fabric, you could personalise it to your decorative choices throughout the house. For example, if your home is themed in white, silver, and gold, you’re going to find that gold Christmas tree ornaments will be best for your home. 

Candy Canes Ornament 

This candy cane ornament tutorial is going to be a wonderfully diverse way for you to decorate your home this Christmas. You don’t have to stick with the traditional Santa faces or trees if you don’t want to, not when candy canes are a theme of the season and offer a sweet little treat to your house. Again, make sure that you have a cardboard cut out of each of the candy canes so that you can measure your fabric correctly, but you could make this as big or as little as you’d like.

Hexagon Wreath Ornament

Get a little creative with the hexagon wreath ornament and you’ll have an amazing addition to your tree. Use glittery, shiny fabric or you can use patterned fabric. It’s completely up to you and whatever you have in the home will work. The beauty of this personalised gift is that it looks quirky and different compared to the ones that you expect to see on the tree, such as baubles or Christmas trees.
