7 Dollar Store Ornament Crafts

Jasmine from Feeling Nifty brings Made It Myself TV 7 wonderful ideas for dollar store ornaments. If you love simple, budget-friendly DIY projects, Dollar Tree is a goldmine—especially during the holidays. In this video tutorial, seven adorable and easy Christmas ornaments are made using inexpensive Dollar Tree supplies. From painted pieces to cozy sock creations, here’s a closer look at each craft and how you can recreate them at home.

Acrylic Paint Swirl Ornament

This classic technique creates a gorgeous marbled look inside a clear ornament. Just add a few drops of acrylic paint into a plastic or glass ornament, swirl it around until the colors blend beautifully, and let it dry. Each one is unique, fast, and customizable to any color theme.

Wood Round Snowflake Ornament

Using a simple wood round and a paint marker, you can draw a crisp snowflake design to create a rustic winter ornament. Whether you prefer intricate lines or a minimalist snowflake, this project delivers that cozy farmhouse feel with very little effort.

Disco Ball Ornament

Bring a little sparkle to your tree! This project turns a basic ornament into a fun disco ball using mirrored pieces or reflective stickers. It’s perfect for trees with a glam, retro, or metallic theme and catches the light beautifully.

Sock Snowman Ornament

Cute, soft, and surprisingly easy—this snowman ornament is made from a Dollar Tree sock! Add a little stuffing, tie off sections to create the head and body, and decorate with tiny embellishments for the face, scarf, and buttons. It’s a great craft for kids and beginners.

Mini Picture Frame Tree Ornament

Dollar Tree’s small picture frames can be turned into charming ornaments by framing a tiny Christmas tree cutout or photo. It gives a vintage, sentimental feel—plus you can personalize it with names, dates, or family pictures. Use acrylic paint and hot glue to create detail on the frame.

Clip Ornament

The final craft transforms everyday clips (like clothespins) into a festive ornament. Paint them into a creative design—like a reindeer, snowflake, or soldier—and you’ve got a surprisingly stylish piece made from simple materials.

Wooden Star Snowman Ornament

A wooden star shape becomes an adorable snowman with a bit of paint. Add a cute face, a nose, and arms to bring the character to life. This craft is perfect if you enjoy painting and want a unique handmade piece for your tree.
