Simple and beautiful Snowflake Joy Christmas Ornament!
I have never made my own ornaments. Making ornaments has always been a little intimidating because there are some gorgeous handmade ornaments. I didn’t know where to begin, but I really wanted to break into the Christmas ornament making world this year.
My goal was simple projects – ornaments that would take me about 10 minutes and were fairly inexpensive. Ornaments like this Joy Snowflake Ornament! I will be sharing a Christmas ornament with you every day for the rest of the week so keep an eye out for them!
MATERIALS
Glass Ornaments or Plastic Ornament
Red Felt
White Vinyl
Silhouette Cameo
TUTORIAL
I had extra red felt from my Santa Wreath so I decided to cut a little bit into thin strips and put it inside the ornament for a colorful filler. I used about a quarter of an individual felt sheet but add to your heart’s content.
Then, I used my Silhouette machine to cut out JOY in white vinyl to put on the outside. I LOVE snowflakes so I use a snowflake for the “o”. If you don’t have a craft machine or vinyl, you could also handwrite the design on the outside with a painters pen.
If you like this ornament, you might also like my other Christmas posts.

Thanks, Linda! I was super happy with how it turned out, especially since i didn’t use any craft bells and whistles to glam it up.
Linda says
Right. They aren’t doing that anymore. 🙂

That is so cute! I bought some ornaments to make our own and I’m excited to try them out.

I hope you will share what you end up doing! I’ve now gotten the ornament bug and am looking for new ideas. 😉
