I think ornaments can be a fun gift to give someone before Christmas (for the host of a holiday party, family friends, a teacher, etc.). They are just a little something thoughtful that can be enjoyed before the holiday gets here. Last year, my daughter and I made these for a few friends that we saw throughout December. Plus you can always make an extra to add to your tree!

This year I went to a Jesse’s Tree ornament exchange party. We all had to make and bring 25 of the same ornaments, so I needed something cheap, easy, and cute. I chose a white, glittered star. My 2 year old helped somewhat, but mostly gave me instructions about how she thought it should be done, and insisted that we painted a few red. Here’s what we came up with.

There you have it. Your cheapest, simplest DIY project this year.
