16 Homemade Holiday Ornaments That Kids Can Make

Looking to reuse those leftover materials piling up on the craft table? Consider making these quick and easy paper ornaments featured on the blog Elsie Marley.

Though Elsie made hers with some free Martha Stewart paint samples from the hardware store, she also recommends using leftover holiday cards from years past or colorful cardstock (even scraps of felt will do, if that's what you have on hand). Your kids will love reconstructing classic holiday icons such as Frosty and Christmas trees from simple shapes, and all that’s needed is a zip through the sewing machine to finish them off before hanging.
