We are in an era of the old-fashioned Christmas values, home and hearth, and nothing says it more thank adorable handmade ornaments. 

Here's some easy ones - 

I love this one above as it reminds me of the paper woven heart ornaments we had on our Scandinavian tree as a kid.

Yes, this works and it's great. Sometimes I throw in coffee beans or cloves.

Empty wine bottles can be painted directly with chalk paint (cheaper if you take acrylic paint and add some baking soda to make your own). Hot glue on some twine. Add a bow. And hot glue on the lettering - JOY.

Wood sticks attached to twine and snowflake lights.

River rocks become decor on table tops
