    These easy DIY Dollar Store Christmas Ornaments are so easy to make. They're great crafts for kids or adults to give as gifts or to keep for yourself. Plus, it's a great way to use your favorite photos and Christmas card photos. (And no paint required!)

    First, Watch this Video for the Full Tutorials

    DIY Christmas Ornament #1 - Photo Ornament

    You know all those Christmas photo cards that you get every year? It's so fun to receive pictures of your favorite friends and family - but what do you do when the holidays are over? (It's depressing to throw them all away!)

    Well, why not use those cards to make your friends and family a keepsake photo ornament to hang on their tree the next year?

    These make a great gift - or even a gift hangtag.

    The best part? They're CRAZY easy to make!

    GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES

    You will need to buy these reindeer ornaments from the Dollar Store. Be sure to save the reindeer - you'll be using him in the next ornament!

    Pom Poms

    Ribbon or string

    Photo card (or photo)

    Hot glue gun or glue.

    Watch the video above for the full tutorial on how to make this ornament come together.

    DIY Christmas Ornament #2 - Reindeer Garland

    While not exactly an ornament, this reindeer garland is just as fun and festive. Hang on your mantle, around your tree, or lay it along your table for a fun centerpiece.

    You could even have them prancing up your stairway banister.

    And it really doesn't get any easier to make than this!

    GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES

    Simply take the reindeer that you didn't use in the first ornaments, glue on a pom pom nose and tie together with twine. SO CUTE!

    Watch the video above for the full tutorial.

    Do you love reindeer and antlers as much as I do?

    DIY Christmas Ornament #3 - Snow Globe

    It just does not get any more fun and festive than a DIY snow globe - and bonus because these could not get any easier to make!

    GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES

    Plastic ornament jars, mini reindeer, trees and pom poms can all be purchased at the Dollar Store. Woo hoo!

    Watch the video above for the full tutorial.
