Simple and Fun Christmas Tree Ornaments

Sometimes when we catch a cold everyone goes down at once. Other times we catch a virus and it slowly trickles through the kids, keeping the whole family stranded at home for a week or two. Talk about cabin fever and bouncing off the walls!

It’s easy to resort to 24/7 television during those weeks, and I admit that’s normally what I do! But Hefty has a great craft idea that is perfect for filling up those sick days. These adorable Christmas Tree Ornaments are perfect for crafting on sick days!

Supplies:

Hefty Foam Plates
FREE template
string
marker
scissors
hole punch
glue
glitter

Directions:

Visit Hefty to print the free template.

Trace the template onto a plate and cut out. Next, punch a hole in the top of each ornament.

Now use glue and glitter to decorate the ornaments:

TIP!!!

Use an extra plate to contain the excess glitter!

For the tree ornament:

Use glue to make garland and ornaments on the tree shape. Then sprinkle with glitter.

For the snowflake ornament:

Use a paint brush to spread glue on the snowflake ornament.

Sprinkle the snowflake with glitter.

Tie a ribbon to the top of each ornament.

Hang on them on your tree, or even use them as adorable gift tags for Grandparents or teachers.
