25 Natural Ornaments the Kids Will Love Making!
Ornaments and garlands made out of natural materials are my favorite! A lot of the fun with these is getting out with the kids to collect some of the materials. You can mix and match with different materials depending on what you find. Also, I’ve tried to include a wide-range of decorations so there is something for every age. Enjoy and happy holidays!

This is such a great round-up, I love the Nature filled glass bulbs!
Mother Natured is another site that had done a few fabulous Christmas decorations all with things from nature!
Thanks! I know, the bulbs are one of my favorites. Love Mother Natured – what a fabulous site…I’ll be sure to check out her decorations.

Lovely round up of natural ornaments – these would make a great craft project for Christmas time, thanks 🙂 #outdoorplayparty
Lots of great ideas here – I especially like the scrap ribbon Christmas trees! We just made some ornaments with pine cones and they turned out great. Thanks for linking up to the #outdoorplayparty!
These ideas are gorgeous!! Although I am sure none of them will turn out quite so lovely we will have fun trying them 🙂
Ha I know we gave up on being Pinterest perfect years ago! Have fun and I’d love to hear how it goes…
