DIY Hanging Christmas Ornaments




Two craft posts in a row- whoa, never thought that would happen! This isn't so much a craft but a super simple way to decorate an empty window during the holidays.

 It's pretty easy so I'll just give you a quick summary of what I did; you can do whatever works best for your needs. You'll need ribbon, plastic ornaments of different sizes and some command hooks, or tape, whatever works!



All the ways I have seen on Pinterest the ribbon is hanging directly from the curtain rod but I didn't want to do that because I like my curtains closed most of the time.

So I kinda went a little...creative. I put a command hooks on the wall behind the curtain rod with a piece of ribbon tied on each end to make a ''ribbon rod''. Then I tied ribbon of different lengths to the newly made ''rod'' and tied the other end to a plastic ornament. (Not lettin' my cat win this one!) Curled the extra and done, simple as that!

I'm just starting out with Christmas decorations and it can get expensive but this really is a cheap and fun way to add more decorations to my ever growing collection. Hope to compete with the great Clark Griswold someday! What DIY holiday decorations do you have that would make Sparky jealous?

Bonus picture frames I painted- I can't help myself!!
