I remember my first Christmas season away from home. I was living in an apartment in Maine with my first husband (it didn’t last long…the husband or Maine) and we were flat broke. We barely had enough for the little Charlie Brown-like tree that we bought, let alone ornaments. We had a few store-bought ornaments that we received as gifts, but not nearly enough to cover the whole tree. I’ve never been really crafty, but I did manage to make some cute handmade ornaments to fill in the gaps. Ever since then, I try to make at least one handmade ornament each year to remind myself that Christmas joy doesn’t always have to have a price tag attached to it. Check out a few fabulous DIY ornaments from some of my favorite bloggers for inspiration for your own tree!
