Find of the Week
Velvet ribbon makes an elegant statement, whether on a gift or as decoration on a craft and it’s trending this year. I found a package of 10 bundles of velvet ribbon in red, green and white at Dollarama, but it sold out fast. Check out the selection of velvet ribbon on Amazon.
Quick Tip
Remove the label from any soap container and wrap a window cling around it to make it Christmas-ready. I used glue dots to hold the window cling in place.

As we trim the tree every year, it’s the ornaments that spark pleasant memories that we love best. Maybe it’s “Baby’s First Christmas” or “Our New Home.” One of my favourites is a gold Christmas tree ornament containing a family portrait from when my kids were small. You can always buy ornaments like these but, rather than spending a ton of money on ready-made specialty ornaments, you can use the mini wood frames from Dollar Tree to create unique keepsake ornaments for yourself and your family that you will treasure for years to come.

For Christmas 2024, I made some special ornaments as a little something extra for two special women on my list. Don’t know what I was thinking (or not thinking!) but I didn’t document the process. Anyway, they turned out splendidly, so I wanted to demonstrate how to make them now.
If you’ve got a printer and access to the internet, you can make unique Christmas ornaments as gifts for the book lover’s on your list.

I collected a few wood ornaments from dollar stores this year. After some thought I came up with a few ideas on how to decorate plain wood ornaments for Christmas using rub-on transfers and other materials you probably already have on hand, such as old Christmas cards and wrapping paper scraps.
You can use Christmas ornaments for more than just to decorate the Christmas tree. They can be attached to gift baskets and gift bags for decorative purposes and as an extra little gift for the recipient. Christmas ornaments are also a great way to help decorate Christmas stockings. An ornament at each place setting on the dining room table adds a decorative touch to your tablescape, too.
Here are a few ideas on how to decorate plain wood ornaments to hang on your tree or use in other ways this Christmas.
