Section 2: Fail-Proof DIY Christmas Ornaments
📌 Beginner-Friendly: 15-Min Quick Makes (No Special Tools / Kid-Safe)
1. Twine-Wrapped Cookie Cutter Ornament
– Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ | Time: 12 mins | Style: Vintage Farmhouse
– Materials List : 2mm Natural Jute Twine (1 Spool), 3-inch Metal Christmas Tree Cookie Cutters (2 pcs), Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun (Kid-Safe Version), 1cm Red Ribbon (1 Roll)
– Step-by-Step:
① Preheat the glue gun; apply a small dot of glue to the edge of the cookie cutter and secure the starting end of the twine.
② Wrap the twine tightly around the cutter (overlap 1mm per loop) until fully covered, then cut the twine and fix the end with glue.
③ Fold the ribbon into a 6cm hanging loop, glue its ends to the top of the cutter, and tie a small bow for extra charm.
– Pro Tips to Avoid Mistakes: Use a low-temp glue gun to prevent burns for kids; choose 2mm twine—thicker twine tends to loosen easily.
– Styling Suggestion: Hang it next to Callie’s Wooden Ornament to enhance the vintage vibe.

– Materials List: Christmas Red Wool Felt (10cm×10cm), Letter Template, Scissors, Polyester Fiberfill, Embroidery Thread
– Step-by-Step:
① Trace a 5cm-tall uppercase letter onto the felt and cut out 2 identical pieces.
② Embroider along the edges of the two pieces, leaving a 1cm opening; stuff with fiberfill, then stitch the opening closed.
③ Sew a hanging string to the top, and add small snowflake embroidery for decoration if desired.
– Personalization Idea: Combine this DIY letter with Callie’s ornaments to spell out your kid’s name—it’s meaningful and cute.
