Cricut Christmas Ornament Instructions
Follow along for step-by-step instructions for creating Cricut Christmas ornaments:
Step 1: Cut the gold vinyl
Start by cutting your gold vinyl into different shapes with your Cricut. You can make the patterns as simple or intricate as you’d like. Use starburst patterns, snowflakes, and holly for a festive look! You can use the basic shapes and text in Cricut Design Space to make your designs. For the Christmas tree, I added a square, triangle, and star and welded it together.
Step 2: Apply to the ornament
Once you have all of your cutouts weeded, cut a piece of transfer tape and adhere it to the cut vinyl. Peel back the transfer tape and then place the vinyl on top of your ornament. Use a scraper to really adhere the vinyl.
Step 3: Fill with artificial snow
Next, use a spoon to fill the inside of the ornament with iridescent artificial snow. This step is completely optional, but it adds a beautiful sparkle to your ornament that’s sure to catch the eye of anyone admiring your Christmas tree!
Step 4: Add ribbon
Finally, tie a bow around the top of the ornament with golden ribbon for an extra touch of holiday cheer.
And you’re done! Enjoy your handmade ornaments and show them off on your Christmas tree. You can even make a set of these for gifts this year—they’re the perfect way to spread the holiday cheer.
Happy crafting!
FAQs
If you have questions about making these Cricut Christmas ornaments, I have answers for you! Please leave your question for me in the comments if you don’t see it already answered below.
Can I use other colors of vinyl?
Absolutely! You can use any color vinyl you’d like—just choose something that matches the tone of your Christmas tree decorations. Silver, white, and red are all great choices for a traditional holiday look.
How long will my ornaments last?
These ornaments are designed to last for years, so you can enjoy them season after season. The vinyl should stay adhered to as long as it isn’t exposed to too much moisture.
If you live in an area that gets a lot of rain or snow during the holiday season, consider keeping your ornaments inside for extra protection!
What if I don’t have a Cricut machine?
No worries! You can still make these ornaments with other tools. If you don’t have access to a cutting machine, you can use an X-Acto knife and some metal shears to cut the gold vinyl by hand. It might take more time, but the effect is just as beautiful!
