Christmas ornaments, while pretty, are ridiculously expensive. Not only that, but they are very commercial. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is pulling out the ornaments and looking at each one and remembering where it came from. As kids, we would argue about which ornament we got to put on the tree... especially if it was one we created. As adults... why not continue the tradition of creating your own custom ornaments - but let's make them a bit more classy. Here are 9 of my favorite DIY ornaments with tutorials on how to create them. Which one will you choose? I'll update this post with my progress of making it through all 9 ornaments. 2013 is going to be a BIG year for ornaments :).
