Make some memories and, at the same time, spread a bit of holiday cheer with these easy Christmas ornaments.

Make lacy snowflakes: allyou have to do is unch a hole at the top of a lacy paper doily. Then thread a small length of narrow ribbon through the hole and tie a knot at the ends. Hang several on the Christmas tree for a frosty effect. If you hang transparent ornaments near a tree light it gives a much more dramatic effect.

Hang cookie cutters: Get some Christmas-themed cookie cutters and Tie a loop of ribbon around them. Hang several on the Christmas tree for an adorable candy theme or to emphasize a country motif.

Have a glitter ball: You will need some Styrofoam balls of various sizes. Put some suitable glue into a bowl, dip the balls into the glue and then sprinkle with glitter. Place them onto a piece of wax paper to dry. You can group several in a colorful bowl for a glittery holiday centerpiece.

Frame the family: cut your favorite family or baby photos to fit inside some canning lids. Apply a small amount of glue to keep each photo in place. Secure a small loop of ribbon to the back with glue. Hang several to create a “family tree.” It is better to make digital copies of your favorite photos if you’d like to keep the originals intact.

Create instant icicles: cut several 8-inch sections of wire ribbon in the color of your choic then twist the ribbon around a pencil. Push a pin to make a hole at one end, then slip a hook through the curly ribbon and decorate your tree. Each ornament you craft will help create a memory of this holiday for years to come!

Prevailing belief holds that Martin Luther, the German Protestant leader, originated the tradition of adding lights to Christmas trees in the 1500s.
