Creating unique and interesting ornaments at the holidays is always so much fun! The crafting, the conversation and the memories – always a great time to be had. For this round of kid-friendly holiday crafts, we chose to use plastic ball ornaments!Kid-Friendly Ball Ornament Crafts

As our base we used plastic clear ball ornaments, I got this 25 pack at Michaels – plenty to go around!

To embellish these ornaments we used various materials:

To attached the embellishments we utilized a mix of Quick Dry Tacky glue and hot glue *use caution – requires adult assistance/supervision*

For this ornament, we painted the tacky glue on the bottom of the ornament using our fingers. We then rolled it in a paper plate of fake snow and allowed to dry.

So simple and pretty!

These ornaments were especially easy!

Begin by cutting square pieces of holiday fabric. Wrap them around the ball and tie using fun ribbon or string. For some extra jazz, we added bells to each one.

The red ornament was painted using red craft paint and then sprinkled with white glitter for a beautiful snow effect!

Some of the ornaments were filled with surprises, like little snow globes and others were wrapped with candy cane string and red rickrack.
