15 Homemade Christmas Ornaments: More Recycled Ornaments
Recycle unconventional items from around the house to create spectacular Christmas ornaments.
More Recycled Christmas Ornaments
CDs- If you have any old or scratched CDs collecting dust (like all those promotional CDs you
received in the mail), turn them into shiny Christmas ornaments. You can decorate them with
paint or glue scrapbook paper to the CDs. Glue several layers of colored felt around a photo for a
photo ornament. Simply thread a ribbon through the hole in the center.
Light Bulbs- Burnt-out light bulbs can be turned into Christmas ornament. They really are the
perfect size and shape. You can cover the bulb with several layers of paper mache to make it less
fragile if you like. Otherwise, paint the bulb with acrylic paint. Use clamps to hold the bulb while
painting and drying. Glue on sequins, beads, small felt shapes, or anything else you can imagine.
For one idea, try gluing glittery beads into snowflake shapes. Here is an adorable idea for a Light
Bulb Reindeer.
Odd Buttons- Oh, Martha, I cannot even begin to describe her clever button ornaments, held
together with a bit of pipe cleaner. So just check them out here!
Metal Jar Tops/Frozen Juice Lid- These metal tops make a great starting point for a number of
projects. Cover with festive paper (or recycled Christmas cards again!), paint and/or encircle
with a bit of garland.
