Let your kids light up the tree with bejeweled ornaments. Paint starburst patterns onto the surface of a glass ornament using glitter puff paint. While the paint is still wet, adhere a rhinestone in the center of the painted design. Younger kids can simply paint circles and stick a rhinestone in the middle of each circle.
These 3-D stars -- made from thin sheets of crafts foam -- are a cinch to make. A little wire and some metallic markers are the only supplies you need.
Adorn green-and-white hard candies with sprinkles and silver dragees to transform the pieces into a happy snowman.
Our contemporary take on classic Swedish straw ornaments combines crafts sticks (or clothespins) with wooden rounds to create different snowflake forms.
Create ornaments that resemble classic ribbon candy. Thread a needle with embroidery floss and knot at one end. Thread on one clear acrylic bead, then poke the needle through the end of a 1-inch-wide paper strip. Thread on two more beads and loop the paper (as shown). Poke the needle back through the paper. Repeat until the entire paper strip has been looped. Finish by running the floss twice through the top bead and make a loop for hanging.
When these hard peppermint candies are laid close together and baked, they melt into each other to create a fun candy cane.
Sweeten your tree with confectionary ornaments. Cut an 8-inch length of wire. Bend the wire into a candy cane shape, forming a small hook on one end using pliers. Thread gumdrops onto the other end of the wire. When the wire is full, twist a hook onto the end of the wire to secure the gumdrops.
Editor's Tip: Hang these ornaments by the crook of the candy cane, or tie a length of thread in a loop around the wire at the top of the candy cane.
These pretty ornaments make great gifts for kids to give their teachers. Remove the metal ornament cap from a clear glass ornament. Adhere the end of a silk greenery sprig inside the cap with crafts glue; let dry. Carefully insert the greenery into the ornament and secure the cap back into place. Adhere ribbon around the outer rim of the cap as shown; let dry.
Thread another length of ribbon through the metal cap's wire hanger and tie ends together in a knot. Wrap a short length of ribbon around the wire hanger to hide the metal. Secure the overlapping ribbon ends with crafts glue; let dry.
Give your kids a few scrapbook supplies and watch these easy snowflake ornaments flurry into existence. Using a snowflake paper punch, punch shapes from different-color papers. Place a 3-D sticker in the middle of each snowflake, then adhere to an ornament with crafts glue. Let dry.
Make dancing stars in minutes using ordinary ball ornaments and metallic paint pens. No need for fancy patterns or equipment to create these shining Christmas decorations.
This little ornament uses an age-old technique known as quilling to create a shapely tree from strips of paper. All you need is some construction paper and glue.
As you get the hang of quilling, try more advanced projects, such as this candy cane. Adhere tiny, spiraled strips of paper together to form a candy cane shape, and embellish with ribbon.
Use a piece of red-and-white hard candy for the trunk of this sweet green-and-white tree.
A plain glass ball is turned into an eye-catching beauty when filled with tulle and sequins.

12/9/2011 12:54:50 PM Report AbuseIs there a reason that you can't combine similar ideas into one photo and include other ideas? Such as...clear ornaments filled w/stuff, or the glitter, button and bedazzled ornaments, or the candy cane, tree and snowman. Seems silly to me to flip through a slide show and see the same ideas in different pix......
