I've seen some really cute ornaments where
they used rub-on decals with clear bulbs. The rub-on's come in a wide variety
and are easy to do. The best part is there is virtually no mess. I've also
seen cute snowman ornaments made of Styrofoam balls and they used stick on
eyes and cut items out of felt for scarf's, noses etc.

Each year for the 12 days of Christmas our girls decorate the glass clear
ornaments with puffy paint. Its fun and easy. The hardest part is tying the
string to them so they will hang to dry. Good luck, have fun.

You can mix equal parts applesauce and cinnamon to make a dough then cut out
with cookie cutters or roll into shapes, dry and decorate as you wish. They
take a while to dry but smell wonderful. I did this last year with my cub
scouts and they loved it. (Also

A ward I used to be in made beautiful dove
ornaments from a paper mold. They used a
toilet tissue recipe for the paper
instead of the expensive paper made for the molds. I've had mine for 3 years,
have used them every year & they are still in good shape.

We made really fun (and cheap) ornaments
with our YW a couple years ago from a Martha Stewart idea using old Christmas
cards. Here is the link to the directions on her site:

I use a 1.5" circle paper punch and that saves a lot of time - you can get
them at scrapbook stores.

We have made ornaments from toothpick-like
sticks (obtained from the craft store). then we made them into snowflake
ornaments --- * this star type idea; painted them white and while the paint
was white, we sprinkled sparkly dust on them....
