10 DIY Christmas Ornaments Using Trash and Junk from Around the House! 

I FORGOT to explain something! Were you wondering why I turned the egg cups inside out?! The egg carton cups were rounded on the sides but flat on the bottom. At first, when I “massaged” them, I was hoping to round them out. When that didn’t work, I thought to turn them inside out. Turning them inside out also concealed the imprinted little design on the bottom of the egg cup.

I do appreciate your attention to detail (even with junk). One man's trash is another's treasure!

I love this! In 1979 my dad was stationed in Crete with the Army. We cut a big branch for a Christmas tree, leaned it against the wall, and made all our ornaments out of spools, toilet tissue rolls and everything we could get our hands on! Your projects are far more sophisticated than what we could do as kids, but the spirit of your creativity sure evoked those memories of making something from whatever you have!! And loving it!!

You are brilliant! I loved all of them. It's important that people still know how to make something from almost nothing, you're keeping this tradition alive. Thank you.

I was teaching class on Saturday. Our tree got delivered. The kids were picking up their toys. My daughter said let's put them on the tree! They used hair ribbons and scrunchies, too. When I got home I was blown away how darling it was!! Teddy bears and cars...cute under the tree!! And this is why their dad is more fun than me!!

There just aren’t enough words to express how darling, creative, unique, fun, memory-connected and affordable ALL these ideas are!!! Seriously!! The baby block idea??? OMGoodness!!!

Lovely Sherry! This episode was very nostalgic for me because I remember making ornaments with my mom out of junk and foraged things. My mom died when I was just 21 years old but she filled my childhood with things like this. I believe she is the one that formed me as a Maker/Up-cycler. Thank you for the tender memories. 💜🤟

everything is awesome but I love the bells and the mushrooms especially.

I love all these. Especially the bells made with the pill bottles and egg carton. Something I have a ton of. I’ve been saving my pill bottles to make a lighted garland with them for Christmas. Idk how it will turn out but in my mind it’s beautiful. But I’m sure I’ve got extra to make some bells. I really enjoyed the video. I think using recycled items to craft with is more my favorite than any other. Thanks! ❤️💜💚

Ann here Sherry. You amaze me with simple unique diy's. I know now I can use all our medicine bottles. I love the bird cage out of sticks in your yard. How brilliant. Now these wood rounds are adorable.

Love the nostalgia! Oh, how I long for that wholesomeness...

Ohmygosh Sherry these ornaments are all absolutely beautiful! Who would of thought they all started as junk! You are one very gifted lady! Thank you for sharing your God given gifts with us all, you've given me so much inspiration! God bless you and your family abundantly in all things and much love from me too! ❤️🙏🥰😘😊

Omg ladies! Sheri and Deidre together, my perfect duet. What a treat. 💕 Keep shining on! Thank you so much for your continued Inspiration ladies. 🌞

When I first started watching this video I thought the first item you made, the Bell’s was going to be my favorite. I almost started writing to say I love the bells the best, but then I watched the next item being made and I loved that……the next item after that I love that it……it just kept going. Your ideas are amazing and come out beautiful!! YOU ALWAYS inspire me💗😀

These are lovely, the mushrooms are definitely happening. I love the tree slices with the words too. I made many shapes with twigs one year (my all hygge Christmas 😊) and some of them came out looking a bit Blair witch project according to my sons. The bits of decor in the middle was perfect, I’ll do that next time.

I love that you two know each other. I watch various videos and think, “Wow! She should meet ********. They would make the best of friends.” And....there you two are. I absolutely, positively love your projects and the baby block is my fav. Thanks for sharing!

I so look forward to your videos. Your creativity seems to have no bounds!! My favorite this week (really hard to choose just one) is the bells! TFS

The birdcage is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your inspiration! 😍

Loved the block with baby info - that is a great gift to give new parents!

Finally a great craft idea for using pill bottles!

I love them all, especially the matchbox shiny bright ornament boxes. I remember that brand from my childhood, and we carefully kept our glass ornaments in those original boxes.

Sherry, I can't believe how amazing those pill bottle bells look! No one would ever guess.

Sherry your "brass" bells were GENIUS! As always, I enjoy HOW your mind works and your creativity brings your ideas to life-TFS :D

I love this so much! Homemade ornaments are the best and they carry our memories through the years. I love reading everyone's memories who shared here in the comments! Here's mine- About 15 years ago, I was at "starting over" point in my life, so was a friend/neighbor. We were both single moms and didn't have extra money to spend on decorations. We challenged each other to spend $5 or less to decorate our trees. She made bright stars from neon-colored plastic straws for her tree. She also visited bars and restaurants to ask for some of those little drink umbrellas for her tree. Her tree was whimsical and bright! I picked up pine cones from my yard and shells at the beach. I attached gold curly ribbon (all I had) with the only glue I had, Liquid Nails! 😂 I added some clear glass angels from Dollar Tree. My tree had a different beauty. It was natural and woodsy beachy. Both our trees were beautiful! We made cookies and hot chocolate and invited the neighborhood children to come see our trees. The children loved it ❤️ I still have those ornaments. I mean, they're put together with Liquid Nails. I'll always have them! 😂

Everything is fantastic. The baby block is genius.

The ornaments are all great & will be doing them with my Grandkids. We love doing crafts together.

Oh Sherry, what a wonderful surprise for you and Deidre to do a collaboration! I love Deidre’s channel as well as yours. Sherry, all of these ideas are just wonderful! But my favorite is absolutely the baby block ornaments. Since I have become a grandparent this year, I will be making lots of ornaments for our little bundle of joy! Thanks for the inspiration!

My jaw dropped with the things you used to make these very creative projects. Holy moly they came out fantastic. I will be making the bells. Thanks for posting

Those ornaments turned out beautiful I can't wait to see what Deidre shows us.

Love these. I've had a woodland & vintage tree for years. My favorite is the mini shiny brite boxes. So darling. 🥰🎄🐦💕

That "snowball" ornament is beautiful! These are all great ideas. I have something I do to make ornaments with trash. I save the metal ends from canned biscuits or canned crescent rolls. They are the perfect flat, round surface to use as an ornament, and thin enough so that a hole can easily be made in them for a hanger to be placed. Sometimes I paint them, and then I mod podge a vintage looking image inside the part with the small rim. Sometimes, I allow them to rust a bit ,which they do pretty quickly if you wet them and let them sit for a bit, then I mod podge an image inside and spray sealer all over to keep the rusty look. They need to be sealed either way. They turn out some very cute little, simple round ornaments. Almost forgot, I have also painted them and stamped them with a Christmasey image, or used small molds to glue on, then painted. Again, they are a perfect ,flat enough, round surface to place anything on and make a cute ornament. The kind I get, the paper comes right out when I open them,so I just wash the metal discs and use them this way. I've even stuck them on wreaths before, and nobody ever could tell what they once were. So, just a low cost, basically free, ornament idea, and one that can easily be done with kiddos since they don't have sharp edges. Happy crafting!

Oh my gosh woman! Lol. I’m sitting here shaking my head and laughing in amazement at you! You just blow my mind every single time with your creativity!! You don’t just blow my mind with one project but with another and another and another!! Lol! You have been truly been blessed with a talent that’s for sure!! Thank you for sharing your talents and creativity with us!!! Oh yeah, loved this collab! Great idea

I could watch you everyday! I can't wait to try that baby block ornament for some special newcomers to out family. Thank you for your wonderful videos and projects.

Darling, Darling, Darling Projects!!! Always so clever!

The baby block ornament at the very end is by far my favorite Christmas project I've seen you create this year and last year, too. I'm going to save this idea now. Then I'm going on a hunt for wood blocks.

Liked the snowballs and snowman

My favorites are the brass bells and the bird cages but I loved them all (as usual!). So fun and inspiring!

Those mini bells are amazing! And dare I say, finally, a great way to reuse those pill bottles! Nice.

Wow! Those bells and mushrooms were 🏆👑🔥

Growing up in my family we learn to decorate our Christmas 🎄 with what we had I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽 up until 13 years old I leave in Mexico I’m now 72 years young ,enjoying your beautiful show ,which by the way I had made many of your crafts today I pick Christmas 🎄 and the mushrooms 🍄 for my gifts to my family in thanksgiving.thanks for sharing 🙏🏼😍

That baby block is darling!!

You always make the most ordinary look extraordinary. I think the twig snowflake is my favorite!

You do come up with the most unique ideas 🙂 I really liked the round wood with the paper strips, also with you tearing them it looks like snow dripping at the bottom. The bell was so pretty. The mushrooms are darling. Thank you 🍁

Liked the baby block ornament

Two absolutely talented ladies

Oh my goodness Sherry, each ornament is so precious !!!! I love the mushrooms and the bird cages !! Hope you have a great week !

I loved those BELLS and that BLOCK and everything in between!

Those bird cages are charming!

love your mushrooms, birdcages and scripted tree rounds!!!!!

The brass bell, bird cages and leather tree are my favorite!💝🌲💝Thanks!

The white paint really makes the details of the church really pop! Really like the way you make multiple hang tags.

These projects were wonderful Sherry! The 'bells' looked real and very old. The snowman made out of three lids was adorable. The ornament made out of the larger lid was very pretty. The match boxes were too cute. So, so clever.

I absolutely LOVE the baby block. I have a new granddaughter so I plan to make one for her. I always love how creative you are.

What a great video!! I love all of these amazing and unique crafts, the music, and the tone of the video. It was time well spent! Many blessings.

Sherry, the pill bottle bells are wonderful...they look so much like the metal ones. It is amazing what a little creativity and hot glue can do.

You two make me smile! I'm so happy you share your talents with us!

Just adorable. I don't know if I'd call it junk😍, more like found objects. They are so sweet. TFS. Can't wait to watch Deidre's video.

I love the pill bottle bells! It just goes to show you that you can make beautiful ornaments from junk. I love both of your channels.

Just amazing how real those bells look! Love this video!

Love your “junk” ornaments! After each one I would think, that’s the one I like best! Brought back memories of making ornaments through the years! Believe it or not, I still have dried milkweed Santa’s after twenty years! Blessed and safe days!

I love the bird houses. They are darling and would look nice on anyone's tree !! The music paper trees are just adorable. They will look nice on a tree or as a garland ! I also love the twig snowflakes. They are darling.

Oh my!!! I love all of the ornaments!! You're imagination is incredible!! You're a joy to watch every week!

Oh, Sherry! These are fantastic-I can’t seem to find a compliment that is great enough to praise you!

I love everything small so I squealed when I saw the shiny bright match boxes. I'm going to fill mine with small shiny beads! Thanks for the great ideas. 🤯💝

I can’t believe how pretty you made these! Love it!

I love this! If you had twice as many lids you could make the snowmen double sided!

These ornaments are terrific. I’m definitely going to make the bells and I think the leather trees would look adorable with letter beads hung across them like garland. Thank you Sherry

Sherry, they all turned out fabulous !!! I LOVE to make homemade Christmas ornaments !!! Years ago, my family and friends would have an ornament swap, and the ornaments had to be homemade, it was so much fun seeing what people could come up with.🎄🎄

Wow wow wow! I love these things! I have collected pill bottles forever. I loved the bells and all the other ornaments you created. I’d love to see more! Thanks for sharing your ideas and teaching us how to do them. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for so many wonderful ideas! Loved them All! Very creative and ingenious! 😃♥️🌲🎅🌲☃️🌲🎅🌲♥️🌲

Loved the collab between two of my favorite RU-vidrs!!!

I love the mushrooms, I think they are very whimsical! And I also love the “woodsy” vintage birdcages! Just awesome, everything!

All projects absolutely adorable, as always, very clever and creative. My faves were the pill bottle bells and the baby block - what a beautiful, one of a kind memory that little block is. TFS

I loved all these projects!! Looking forward to turning trash into Christmas ornaments.😊💕

Every single one of these was a jaw dropper! You. Are. Amazing. Sherry!!!!!!

Oh my goodness you are amazing and si creative loved each project today. Great job!!!!!

There is a new baby in the family I'm going to make the baby block for. What a wonderful idea. I'm going to try and add a photo too. Thanks for the wonderful idea.

These are incredibly creative ornaments. While they were clever DIYS, my favorite of all was the bells made from pill bottles. Just a genius idea. ❤

A Collaboration made in heaven! Particularly love the baby's first ornament.

Sherry those birdcages are 😍 beautiful

LOVE the LETTER O BLOCK ORNAMENT...

Your Shiny Bright match boxes had me at HELLO. (I am not going to be able to sleep I am that excited!) And that baby block...HOW EVER DO YOU COME UP WITH SUCH BRILLIANT IDEAS? 👩🏼‍🎓

I knew you would be my one creator to make those bells lol. I am in love with them. Now I hope to see videos where you show me ideas for those large ones. Anyone else that knows of any ideas please lmk 💕🙏

There is no one more creative than you Sheri!!!

The baby announcement on the block is adorable, what a great idea! Thanks for sharing

I absolutely lover ALL your videos. You are so clever & as I don't throw anything out & keep it in my kraft stash, will do many of your ideas. So so beautiful & feel so great when I create something myself. Thank you for your inspirations.

I am in awe of those pill bootle brass bells!

❤️❤️❤️ ... the match boxes and small snowman from x3 lids and lg lid snowball.

I Love and have been following you both!! FANTASTIC COLLABORATION ❤💯👍✝️🙏🇺🇸

Love the snowflake twigs!

Sheri, My favorite is the mushroom's love them, then the block's, can't wait to do these!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Those bells!!! I wish I would have seen the baby block idea years ago, so adorable! Thank you for all of your great ideas and inspiration Sherry.

As if you could get any better?!? What a fun surprise to wake up to this morning!! I absolutely love watching both of you and have used many of your ideas for myself! I cannot pick as favorite as all the ideas are so very good!! Loved this so very much!

I absolutely love the bells made from medicine bottles. I've got to try this.

So elegant. They do not look homemade❤❤❤❤❤

The uk hasn’t used foam egg boxes for decades. They’re made from petroleum and not environmentally friendly at all. I was so surprised to see them! We use cardboard egg boxes now.

2 of my very favourite ladies ❤️🙏🥰
