Craft Ideas for the Colored Ornaments
If you’re looking for fun ways to use these Christmas ornaments coloring pages, I’ve got a few festive craft ideas for you. Plus, I’ve added some fun holiday facts to keep things extra cheerful!
1. 3D Paper Christmas Ornaments
Print two copies of each coloring page, color them both, and cut them out. Fold each one in half, glue them together along the edges, and they’ll create a 3D ornament! Add a string at the top to hang it on the Christmas tree.
Fun Fact: Hanging ornaments on trees goes back centuries! In the past, some cultures would hang gilded nuts or shiny apples to make the tree sparkle in the candlelight.
2. Holiday Cards with a Personal Touch
Use the ornaments as the front of homemade holiday cards! Cut them out and glue them onto folded construction paper, add some glitter, and write a cheerful message inside.
Fun Fact: Christmas cards date back to 1843 in London, where the first card was printed and sold. A hand colored card is even more special than one from a store!
3. Magnetic Holiday Decorations
Color the ornaments, cut them out, and stick a small magnet on the back. These are perfect for hanging on the fridge or a magnetic board.
Fun Fact: In ancient Rome, people decorated their homes with evergreens during winter festivals, a tradition that eventually inspired the modern holiday decor.
4. Ornament Themed Advent Calendar
Color and number 25 ornaments, then arrange them on a wall or bulletin board. Each day in December, you or your child can “open” an ornament by flipping it over to reveal a hidden holiday message, activity, or small treat.
Fun Fact: Advent calendars became popular in Germany as a way to count down the days to Christmas. Now, they’re used worldwide and filled with everything from chocolate to toys.
5. Personalized Gift Tags
Print each ornament design to a smaller size. Trim the shapes, write a festive message on the back, and punch a hole for some ribbon. Now you have unique, handmade gift tags that add a personalized touch to your holiday gifts.
Fun Fact: Gift giving has a long history associated with Christmas, going back to the story of the Three Wise Men in the Nativity. Adding a handmade touch to your gift wrap makes your gift even more heartfelt.
