7 Simple DIY Ornaments For Baby's First Christmas
I love DIY projects, because it allows me to put my own stamp on the things around my home. But, with that said, I’m far too busy to take on any crafts that are even remotely complex and I am always on the hunt for a sweet and simple DIY. As Christmas is quickly approaching I wanted to DIY a little ornament to commemorate Fern’s first Christmas and I thought I’d share my DIY along with a few other ideas to get you started. Happy crafting!
7 Simple DIY Ornaments For Baby's First Christmas
Making Baby’s first Christmas a special and memorable one is important, but in the midst of all the daily parenting duties it can be difficult to add on any extra tasks, which is why I wanted to share these easy peasy DIY ornaments to help you commemorate your baby’s first Christmas without the stress!
DIY Wood Cookie Ornament
This is the ornament I made to commemorate my own baby’s first Christmas and it doesn’t get more simple than this. You could get a little more fancy with the lettering if you wanted, but I like to keep things simple and I like the homespun look anyway.

DIY Hand Stamp Ornament
The only challenging part abou this ornament is getting your babe to hold still for long enough to get a good hand print, but it can definitely be done. Your little one’s tiny handprint would be such a sweet memory to hang on your tree each year.

DIY Porcelain Pen Ornament
While this isn’t a tutorial for a “baby” ornament, using a porcelain pen on an ornament like this would be a great option for a first ornament. You could write whatever wording you’d like to commemorate your baby’s first Christmas and add in any designs as well. I love these ones.

DIY Baby's First Shoe Ornament
This isn’t technically a tutorial, but I think it would be pretty cute to take one of your baby’s first shoes and attach some string or an ornament hook to hang it from your tree. First shoes are something that are fun to save, but they usually just end up in a box, so this would be a fun way to revisit those tiny shoes year after year.
