It’s that time of year again, when Christmas decorations go up and we begin to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. On our tree, we have ornaments with different sayings, initials, or ones with our names on them but I realized this year we didn’t have any Christian themed ornaments. So I decided to make some. Here is a way to do just that:

• Round Ornaments
• Paint Markers – various colors.

 Directions:

First decide what you want to write or draw on your ornament. I made two different ones. The first one I wrote: “Glory to God in the highest and Peace to His people on Earth.”  The second one I made an ornament just for Jesus with His name on it.

Take your paint marker and shake well. If it is new, you will have to prime it to make sure the paint is all the way to the tip. You do so, by placing the tip on a piece of paper and push it up and down until the paint colors the tip. Now, you know you are ready.

Now just write your bible verse or Jesus’ name on the ornament with the paint marker. You can paint other things on your ornaments as well. I did polka dots on one of mine, but you could add stars, swirls, or whatever you like. The great thing is that the paint markers dry really quickly.

Hang it on the tree. Instead of using a hook, you can use a tiny ribbon and tie it together to make a loop. You can purchase these premade in the store as well.

Happy Crafting!
