Christmas is coming and you know what that means: time to get crafty! We’ve rounded up some of our favorite DIY Christmas ornaments for you and your partner to make together. Whether you’re looking for something funny or sweet, we have a project that will fit the bill.
Here are some romantic Christmas ornament ideas for couples:
- Handmade Cardboard Ornament Kit: A kit like this one from Martha Stewart allows you and your partner to create something unique together — and then hang it on your tree. This kit comes with everything you need for two people, including string, scissors and stickers. The best part? You can personalize it however you’d like by adding in extra materials like glitter or paint.
- Make a small hole at the top of your ornament with a needle tool, and thread a piece of ribbon through it so that it hangs from the branch easily. Tie the ribbon in a bow around the branch, then hang your ornament off the loop of ribbon at the top of the bow — this will give you two loops at each end so you can hang multiple ornaments on one branch.
- Cut out some stars out of cardboard or paper, then glue them onto an empty toilet paper roll that’s been cut in half lengthwise — this makes it easier to thread ribbons through later on. Next, cover them with glittery glue so they sparkle when light hits them.
- Cut out a bone-shaped piece of cardboard, then glue it onto a larger piece of cardboard (or foam core) that is the same size as your tree’s base (or slightly smaller so it doesn’t stick out). Use different colored paints to paint the bones red and white, then use a small paintbrush to add black dots on the ends of each bone. Finally, take a heart-shaped cookie cutter and cut out a heart shape in the center of your bone. Glue this onto your ornament and voila! You have yourself an adorable bone-shaped ornament that looks like something straight out of Dr Seuss’ imagination.
- Woodcut print of your face – If you don’t have access to an etching press but still want to make something sentimental for your partner this year, try making a woodcut print of your faces.
- These glass jar ornaments are an easy way to make your own custom holiday decor. This project is perfect for couples who want to share their love this holiday season.

- Wood burning is an easy way to personalize your decorations and add some personality to your home. This DIY wood burned ornament makes the perfect gift for anyone on your list, especially if they love their pets.
