Today I thought I’d blog about a few of my favorite ornament ideas that just about anyone can make with a few basic crafty supplies.

I just adore these ornaments. The possibilities are endless with all of the fabric options available! Member Kot was kind enough to write a very detailed tutorial for them here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=206148.0

Here’s another version made by member caroline_dw:

I’ve seen some skully ones and all sorts of varieties pop up in swaps recently, too.

This ornament is actually one that I made this year. It got quite a few replies on the forum, so I thought I’d write about it here, too. The original tutorial is available on the Martha Stewart website. Click here to check it out. Here’s the project thread about it on Craftster: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=211717.0

It’s a very simple project and would be great to do with kids.

This would be a great gift for any knitter in your life! Member appleshannon wrote up a great tutorial for these here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=211860.0 I love what she used for the mini knitting needles – so creative!

Check back soon for blogs about creative gift wrapping and simple gifts to make for many people on your holiday list this year!
