Today I’m sharing a Homemade Christmas Ornaments project. Some fun Glittery Gold Reindeer Decorations! I created these to go with the Reindeer theme that I have going on in my Family Room for the Holiday Season. More on that later!
Supplies:
- Wooden Reindeer Cut outs from Michael’s Crafts
- Gold Spray Paint
- Gold Glitter
- Glue
- Craft Flower Embellishments
- Hot Glue Gun
Step 1: Spray paint the Wooden Reindeer Cut outs. I sprayed the twine hangers on them as well. Allow to dry.
Step 2: Apply a coat of glue (I used Elmer’s School Glue Gel) and sprinkle on the gold glitter evenly to coat the whole front of the Reindeer.
Step 3: Allow to Dry.
Step 4: Hot glue on the flower embellishments. I got these from Save on Crafts. You could make your own out of Tissue paper.
That’s pretty much it!
Super simple, but the gold glitter and the size of the ornaments really make these pop on our Christmas Tree!
For more Holiday inspiration … stop by my friend Jennifer Rizzo’s blog today for her fabulous 2013 Holiday Housewalk! It’s running all week long and over 30 Holiday Homes will be on the tour, including mine! I’ll be showing my Holiday Home Tour tomorrow, so be sure and stop by then to see how these ornaments fit in with the rest of my decor!

December 2, 2013 at 5:29 pmHi Karen, Love this easy diy! I’ll have to see if our store has them. It’s not like a city store so sometimes we miss out on the goods. Fingers crossed they have them. Thanks for the tutorial.

December 2, 2013 at 11:40 pmYour tree is beautiful! Did you make the blue flowers and the blue/multi-color balls? If so, I’m sure all your readers would love the instructions!

December 3, 2013 at 12:47 amThank you Susan! No, I didn’t make those, I’m afraid. I bought the flowers at Michael’s Crafts and the balls are from TJ Maxx. I’ll be posting my home tour on the blog tomorrow, there will be lots of links on it to projects that I did make. Hopefully you will like some of those. 🙂
