Animal Safari
I absolutely love this idea for homemade Christmas ornaments! I'm already an animal print addict, so this ornament idea is perfect. Buy a few white glass balls. Then use a black acrylic paint pen to draw on zebra stripes! If you're more of a cheetah girl, paint the balls tan first, then use a brown pen to add spots.
Sports Fans
Here's a homemade Christmas ornament you can make for those crazy sports fans in your life! Choose glass balls in the color of the team you have chosen to spotlight. Then use a marker or an acrylic paint pen to write team sayings or something like "Go Indians!" on the front. You can add a date on the back if you desire.

Picture Perfect
Here is one of the most perfect homemade Christmas ornaments for grandparents! What better way to show off their grandchildren than by having their picture displayed on the Christmas tree? You will need a clear glass ball. Drop some Christmas confetti or red and green shredded paper down in the ball. Don't fill it up all the way! Next, wrap a photo that has been cut down to size around a pencil, photo side facing outwards. Slip it in the ball and pull out the pencil. Use a Q-tip to adjust the picture if needed. You can write the child's name and date on the back with a paint pen if you desire!
