DIY Christmas ornaments: 4 reasons to make your own along with 14 free tutorials and printables

There's just something about the Holiday Season that makes even the most uncreative of us want to tackle some crafty projects. Making ornaments for the holidays is super easy and can be a lot of fun, especially if you have kids to entertain! 

I still remember the first time I made a fabric scrap ornament with my son a few years ago. He was so excited to contribute something to our Christmas tree that year, and his face lit up every time he looked at (and usually grabbed and pulled at) the ornament we made together. 

Here are a few reasons I like making ornaments, and a bunch of links to free printables and tutorials.
