Handmade ornaments make very thoughtful and meaningful gifts for friends and family members. Some people like to make their own every year to put on their own trees and to give to their loved-ones to put on theirs. In addition, some people like to shop for these special gifts at local boutiques and gift stores or at online retail outlets.
Some are made out of rustic type materials like wood or some found objects like pine cones. One kind of homemade ornament out of wood is made from a slice of the trunk. It is cut, dried and then painted on before the artist drills a hole and attaches a beautiful red ribbon for hanging.
Others are made from various types of fabric. People can use something as common as inexpensive felt to cut out a simple shape such as a snowman or angel and can stuff it with cotton to create an ornament. They can add embellishments like black bead eyes and an orange felt carrot nose or some sparkle to add interest.
Some others can be made out of beads. Crafters can use pipe cleaners as the base of the ornament and to create a Christmas themed shape such as a wreath or a candy cane. They can then add large plastic beads to the pipe cleaners and turn the ends up to hold the beads in place to create a decorative look.
There are a variety of different ways to create these memorable and thoughtful keepsakes. Some people use readymade glass ornaments available at the craft store and embellish them with paint and others use patterns and kits to create something special. Some might even use clay to create an ornament, bake and paint it to have something special for the tree.
Some people who are not very crafty can purchase some amazing items like the Gladys Boalt dolls or other doll ornaments. These beautifully handcrafted pieces can be purchase from a number of different online retail outlets where crafters can sell their items. They can also be found at some local boutiques, street fairs and festivals and at Christmas bazaars.
