Whether you are looking for easy ornaments you can make with your children, sell at Christmas Markets, or make homemade gifts for friends and family, this Mason Jar Christmas ornament is perfect.
One of the things I love about Christmas is setting up our Christmas tree.
Yes, it’s pretty with the twinkling lights, but what I love most are the ornaments. Each ornament holds a special meaning.
STOP spending hours searching for Christmas Ornaments to make with your children on Pinterest!
Here are 30 Red Ted Art readers’ FAVORITE Christmas Ornaments brought together in one book.

We have ornaments that were handmade by friends, ornaments from places we have visited, and ones that were given to us by friends from across the country. Each ornament holds a special place in our hearts.
This is the perfect medium to create an ornament that represents the person you are making it for. Much like our First Christmas Ornament, this canning jar ornament can be like a scrapbook gift.
