There’s nothing that says Christmastime quite like decorating the tree — and if its with hand-crafted Christmas tree ornaments your kids helped you make, all the better. After all, your Christmas ornament style says a lot about you and your family. Maybe you’re one of those moms who has fancy ornaments of blown-glass pickles and martini glasses (holla at my mom). Maybe you’re the one who has the entirely color-coordinated silver foil tree with all-purple DIY Christmas tree ornaments you crafted yourself. Or maybe (hi, most moms), your tree has no rhyme or reason to anything that’s on it because your kids simply attack it with everything from their drawings to their questionable popsicle-stick art to their literal cereal spoons to your family holiday photo in pipe cleaner frames followed by a dusting of glitter and macaroni.

Whatever kind of tree mom you are (no judgment here, pickle people), you’re going to need Christmas tree ornaments. And if you and those ever-festive kids are willing to get a little crafty, you can all make your own super-chic DIY Christmas ornaments together — and make some cherished memories while you’re at it.
