One of the best ways to welcome the holiday season is to clear the calendar for a day of crafting! And let us be the first to say you guys have outdone yourselves this season. We have seen so many stunning ornament designs with a little new and a little old from IOD that we had to share with the entire IOD creative community.

There’s a little bit for everyone in this blog post. We have beginner-friendly tutorials, something a little more advanced, affordable DIYs, and more! Whether you’re searching to add winter whimsy, nostalgia, or moody and dramatic designs to your tree this year, we’ve gathered them all in one place to share with you. Did you clear your calendar for a holiday-making day? If not, head over to that calendar and get a day blocked out (right now! No dilly-dallying, this is important!).

Alright, let’s delve into some holiday ornament inspo! 🥰
