Easy Beaded Christmas Tree Ornament

This is the first year the girls have had a special tree in their room, so they are even more excited about new ornaments than usual. During our ornament making advent day, we made a couple of fun and easy new ornaments for the girls to hang on their tree.

These beaded Christmas tree ornaments are great for toddlers and preschoolers. Because they are also quick to make, they would be perfect as a craft station at a class party or group event.

Materials

  • Colored craft sticks (I received mine from craftprojectideas.com)
  • beaded necklaces (1 per ornament)
  • Glue gun

Directions

Beforehand use a hot glue gun and form a triangle out of three colored craft sticks.

We have a surplus of beaded necklaces right now. They seem to be multiplying, so we’ve been using them for some craft activity. For these ornaments I snipped the necklace to form one long strand. Then I hot glued one end to a corner of the craft stick triangle.

Tinker held the triangle out and I showed her how to drop the beads down into the middle and pull the strand through. This was like lacing but a bit easier, and she really liked it. Actually she laced it completely through and undid so she could start over three times before she decided she was done with the craft. I might even make her an extra one to use as a toy.

After she was happy with her creation I glued the loose end of the beaded stand to the craft stick. We added a ribbon loop, and she found a space to proudly display her new ornament.

Less stress, more connecting this holiday season? Yes, PLEASE!

From the arrival of fall to Halloween to Thanksgiving and Christmas, the last four months of the year can be a wonderful opportunity for making family memories and spending time together, but they can also be stressful as we try to collect ideas, recipes, and activities to try together.

Stephanie Morgan, founder of Modern Parents Messy Kids, a site that’s been voted Best Craft Blog in Parents Magazine and one of babble.com’s Top 50 Craft Mom Blogs, recently released a new eBook to help us have a little less stress and more time to connect with family this year, and I’m so glad to be an affiliate for such a great resource.

Stephanie’s goal is to make it easier on all of us to enjoy the holidays with our kids. Hands-On Holidays is 100 pages full of her family’s very favorite ways to connect as a family over the holiday season. I love the convenience of having so many ideas in one place, and most of them are simple enough for even my toddler to participate in.

The book includes picture book suggestions, DIY decor, activities, and treats. Bonus sections also offer even more ideas to enjoy. Click here to view more details.
