Easy DIY Christmas Ornament
What you need:
- fillable plastic ornament
- pompoms or other filling material
- ribbon
Step by Step Instructions
We’ve made our bauble by using “glitter” pom poms in green and red color, a classic Christmas color combination.
Open ornament the plastic bauble. If working in a classroom, give the kids the baubles only, keep the top part.
Have the kids fill their ornament with pompoms or other material. Buttons, scrap ribbon, tissue paper are all good options.
When they are done, have them bring your the ornament so you can put the cap on.
Tie ribbon to the top and the ornament is ready for hanging.
