Whether your family enjoys heading to the beach or to the mountains, being together is an occasion to never forget. These moments are easy to capture, from camping and swimming to skiing and sledding, on personalized ornaments.  Each member of the family can have their name personalized, and you can include the location or date of your visit. These make great annual gifts to add to the family tree, and can be decorated with right along side your family pictures.

4. DIY Llama Ornament

Sometimes we notice people looking for types of ornaments we don’t normally carry. We know our fans are also fans of llamas, so we decided to create a DIY llama ornament! This is very easy and made by using a cardboard cutout and twining yarn. Fans of llamas might also be fans of our other animal ornaments, including wild animals and pets. Read our blog to make your very own llama ornament, and you can even hang it as a decoration on an ornament stand!

5. DIY Starfish Ornament

Sometimes the best keepsake for a trip to the beach is one made yourself. If you’ve picked up a starfish while away on vacation and want to purpose your treasure into an ornament, follow our directions! We also have fun similar crafts if you’ve found seashells for an ornament or several trinkets for an “I Spy” game.
