Filed under: , ,

Before you know it, Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanzaa/ Solstice will be here. Actually, whether some of the station store windows are to be believed, Christmas got here about 3 weeks ago.

In any case, what better way to take a step back from the holiday shopping madness than to assemble some festive holiday ornaments at home with your loved ones. Here are 10 great ideas to get you started.

1. Amy Butler fabric ornament and tree topper featured in Blueprint. whether you get the chance, check out the latest issue of Blueprint - there’s a picture tour of Amy Butler’s House.

2. Button Wreath Ornament from marthastewart.com. I really like that one considering after the holiday you can simply re-purpose the buttons.

3. Ribbon pine cone ornament from WhipUp. More traditional but very intelligent.

4. Polymer clay ornament from craftster. Classy.

5. Mitten ornament from the Feathered Nest. Made with felt, ribbon and glitter - infinite possibilities for customization.

6. Pink ball ornaments, plus from craftster. Super girly with satin cord and beads.

7. Embroidered felt ornament from Sunshine Creations (Via Craft). Use cookie cutters as templates for cute ornaments.

8. Fun clay menorah from the DIY Network. I love that the candles are stuck into people’s mouths.

9. Papier mache Kwanzaa bowl from Holiday Arts and Crafts. So much cooler that the papier mache I made as a kid.

10. Kwanzaa kinara (candle holder) from Better Homes and Gardens. The same techniques could be used to prepare a menorah.

Happy holiday decorating!
