I love making my own Christmas tree ornaments and have posted quite a few ideas in the Holidays and Special Occasions section in Crafts. One of my favourites, and that I still use on my Christmas tree are the Little Soldiers. I made my little soldiers a couple of years back and then completely forgot to post the project on the website. So now I'm featuring these adorable little guys as a quick and easy project you can do to add to your Christmas tree.
Little Soldiers
The little soldier ornaments are made using ordinary pine or meranti dowels that you can buy at any Builders store. They are painted red, black and white using acrylic craft paint, with added details to finish them off.
To hang the little soldier ornaments on the tree, simply screw an eye-hook into the top and attach a small piece of ribbon on twine.
There are plenty more quick and easy crafty DIY ideas for making wonderful Christmas tree ornaments, and here are just a few that we want to share...

Using cookie cutters is a fun way to dress the Christmas tree. You can use the cookie cutters themselves as ornaments, with a bit of added embellishment, or you can buy or make air-dry or salt-dough clay and make your own ornaments for the tree.
