Time to get your craft on, y’all! Ok, so sometimes I love long step-by-step craft projects and feel really proud after I’ve finished. But sometimes I like a quick done-in-two-seconds style craft that turns out crazy cute and makes the perfect gift. If you don’t think you’re “crafty”, you can do this! Seriously, it’s embarrassing how easy it is. Without further ado, DIY personalized ornaments to add a little fun to your Christmas trees! I loved creating my daughter’s name on one and “yay” on the other! I also had fun with a 2014 ornament in silver and a monogrammed one too.
Here is the step-by-step photos of the ornament I made for my daughter’s first Christmas! I think these would make the cutest gifts, don’t you think?

Personalized Ornament DIY
ITEMS NEEDED
- Clear ornaments: You can find these in glass or plastic in a variety of sizes at craft stores during the holiday season.
- Sticker letters: I was so impressed at the selection of sticker letters from various fonts to colors and metallics too! Hello gold!
- Glitter or confetti: If you want to fill the inside of your ornament with a little sparkle! Optional! You could even fill the ornaments with little candies too.
- Ribbon: Tie a festive ribbon on top!
HOW TO MAKE
1. Simply stick your letters on in the words or phrases you’d like! Try names, monograms, memorable dates, etc!
2. Use a funnel to fill with glitter or confetti!
3. Tie on a festive bow and hang on the tree or give as a sweet gift.
4. See, I told you it was easy :)
I think I’m in love with the gold and black and white stripe combo myself, which isn’t really surprising considering how much I love gold and stripes! Hope you love this little DIY personalized ornament idea!
P.S. If you love traditional monograms, check out these monogram ornaments I made several years ago with the Silhouette machine (and check back THIS Wednesday night for the code to a very fabulous Silhouette Black Friday sale)!

December 2, 2016 at 8:15 pmHi Courtney! Didn’t see a response on the question of how well the stickers hold up. Did you have problems with them peeling off?
Courtney says
December 5, 2016 at 8:39 amWhen I was repositioning them to get the letters where I wanted them, I did not have trouble peeling them off. But once I got them where I wanted them, I’ve left them. So I haven’t tried to take them back off a year later, for example. I imagine you could try soaking or using goo gone if you really need them off after a bit of time.

December 2, 2014 at 12:54 pmDid you use glass or plastic ornaments? Where did you get them?
Courtney says
December 2, 2014 at 5:20 pmI used glass (but you can also buy plastic) and you can find them at any craft store. Michaels, JoAnns,Hobby Lobby, etc!
Sarah says
December 9, 2014 at 6:43 pmLove these ! I was wondering what size ribbon you used 5/8′ and if the stickers were scrap booking stickers ? Thanks
Courtney says
December 10, 2014 at 8:15 amHi Sarah! I used a 5/8″ on the gold and a 1/2″ on the black/white stripe! Any ribbon size would work :) The stickers were indeed found near scrapbooking, I think they’re general use “craft” stickers but scrapbook stickers are perfect!
Kimberley says
December 15, 2014 at 8:18 pmI love these and rhey look elegant and festive!
My only concern is how the would hold up in storage. I livw in Florida, hot hot hot. Any thoughts on long term, do you think the stickers will peel up?
Karen says
December 19, 2014 at 6:48 amSuper cute…What do you think about a layer of mod podge or something to seal the stickers?
Courtney says
December 19, 2014 at 9:47 amGREAT idea Karen!
Heather says
November 5, 2015 at 8:30 pmLove these! Clicked on your tutorial because I saw the name on the ornament. My daughter’s name is Blakely too! Not often you see that name. :)
Courtney says

September 22, 2016 at 6:30 amHi, I used glitter in the baubles but when I’ve put it in its all stuck around the inside of the glass, how did your not?!
Thanks!
Courtney says
September 24, 2016 at 4:05 pmHi Rosie! This was a couple of years ago so if I remember correctly, I filled it and then immediately hung it so as not to have it tip to any side. It might have stuck had I let it do that. I’m not sure, it also just may have something to do with the type of ornament. Perhaps glass vs. plastic makes a difference.

October 22, 2016 at 8:40 amSome may have asked this but I didn’t notice. How did you space the letters perfectly in the name? The line is straight and each letter perfect? bdltiv@msn.com
Courtney says
October 23, 2016 at 3:49 pmThis might have just been luck! If one didn’t lay write, I would carefully peel if off to reposition!
Blakely Meek says
November 23, 2016 at 9:22 pmOh my gosh! My name is Blakely and I thought that there’s no way that there’s someone on here using my name! I love this! Super creative
Courtney says
November 24, 2016 at 6:26 pmAw yay! It’s my daughter’s name. I LOVE IT!
