14 Beautiful Christmas Ornaments

Hold your candy canes, folks, because today we are dipping our toes in the sweet inspirational bliss known as beautiful Christmas ornaments. I haven’t started decorating for Christmas yet, but I have Christmas ornaments on my mind.

It’s an actual treat for my brain to think about Christmas ornaments instead of what to make for dinner (again), work deadlines, the driver’s license I need to renew, anything on the news…you get the point.

I love making Christmas ornaments, and I always buy or make a Christmas ornament for my kids. The “it” gift of the season comes and goes, but those Christmas ornaments last forever…because Mom stores them in her attic for you.

Here are 14 beautiful Christmas ornaments I found from very talented artisans on this small planet of ours:

Recycled Aluminum Can Ornament | Etsy

I haven’t tried using alcohol inks yet, but it is on my to-try list. Isn’t this leaf ornament beautiful?

It’s made from a recycled aluminum can.

Olive Wood Star | Etsy

Olive wood is so pretty. I’d love an entire set of these.

We don’t have the tools to safely make something like this. Otherwise, I’d try to DIY small stars.

Red Toile Ornaments | Etsy

I gasped as soon as I saw this red toile fabric. This would work so well in my house.

Quilted Tree Ornaments | Etsy

These quilted tree ornaments feel like the sort of thing that would be passed down from generation to generation. I can also see them used as a garland.

Sea Glass Ornament | Etsy

For my ocean lovers, these sea glass ornaments are so pretty.

Sheet Music Ornament | Etsy

Of course, I had to include a musical option. I wish the listing showed how the backs were finished.

Iridescent Raindrop Ornament | Etsy

These gorgeous ornaments are sold as a set of 14. There are different colors, too.

Highland Cow Ornament | Etsy

I’m including the Highland cow because I want this in a giant size so I can hang it on my wall. It would be awesome. Trust me.

He also comes in a version with a little poinsettia on his head. Moove on over, Rudolph. The highland cow is in the house.

Felt Lamb Ornament | Etsy

I love everything in this picture. The little basket frying pan. The birch logs as a tree skirt. The hot air balloon. The play kitchen cabinets that are fancier than my real kitchen cabinets.

Oh, and the felt lamb ornament, too! Almost lost the plot there for a moment.

Red Swirl Glass Ornament | Etsy

This glass ornament reminds me of peppermint candy!

Personalized Name Ornament | Etsy

Can’t have kids and not love a personalized ornament! These would make fun gift toppers too.

Mexican Tile Ornaments | Etsy

Loved this idea of using tiles as Christmas ornaments. I never would have thought to repurpose them in this way. Now my idea gears are turning!

These fused glass ornaments took my breath away. They are so pretty, and I bet they catch the light so well.
