True Meaning of Christmas Ornaments

True Meaning of Christmas Ornaments

Sherri Osborn
Use these free, printable patterns to make a set of ornaments that represent symbols related to the true meaning of Christmas. Each set included 8 different ornaments: a star, a red ball ornament, a fir tree, a bell, a candle, a gift bow, a candy cane and a wreath. These designs were picked for a very specific reason, each represents a symbol of the 'true meaning' of Christmas.

Our ornaments were made using felt, embellished with ribbon, sequins, buttons, rick-rack, and jingle bells. We ended up gluing 2 of the same ornaments together to stiffen them up a little bit. They could also easily be made using craft foam and embellished with just about anything you want.

Here are some free patterns for you to print out and use, and also the version of the "True Meaning of Christmas" that I printed out and framed.

Enjoy making these Christmas ornaments! Feel free to submit your Christmas ideas and pictures of your completed projects.
