I adore handmade Christmas ornaments. I keep every ornament my children make, they are timeless little treasures to me.✨ I adore these ones from @bestideasforkids. They capture a specific period in time, they sparkle and I just love them! If the weather has you staying indoors this weekend, this is the perfect craft to keep the whole family busy.🌲
