I know, I know, a Christmas DIY before Thanksgiving is even here. Well.. I waited as long as I could! Plus I know many of your will be decorating the day after you feast, so I thought I’d share an idea in case you’re looking to do a little crafting over the holiday! This ornament diy takes about ten minutes and can be customized for any style or personality type. Easy peasy all the way here friends. Here’s how:
Time: 10 minutes
Materials: temporary tattoos, decoupage, brush, sponge, ornament
I used these temporary tattoos, but if you can’t find ones you like, you can always make your own! I found the white bulbs at Michaels for about two bucks each.
How to Make a Temporary Tattoo Ornament
Trim your tattoo to size and then peel the plastic layer off the front. Position on your ornament and wet the back with a sponge for about 30 seconds. Be sure to hold your tattoo as still a possible to not smudge the design. Peel paper off and let your tattoo dry on the surface.
If you don’t like the way it came out, you can remove with rubbing alcohol. But, if you did it right, seal with a thin layer of decoupage and let dry! Super easy, right? And with so many temporary tattoo options, you could make these for anyone in your family!
What a beautiful and simple way of decorating ornaments! This is perfect for those of us who have no skills with painting our own ornaments, yet want something a little more personalized. Love the idea of using temporary tattoos! How did you come up with this? It’s absolutely brilliant! Keep up the awesome posts!

What a genius idea! And of course I immediately thought of using temporary tattoo paper to make my own designs. Gonna have to try that, thanks for sharing!
P.S. I was sorry to see that you’d left Portland. I’d been meaning to suggest that we meet up, and I missed my chance! Best of luck with the move, though.
This is my favorite DIY for Christmas. I cannot wait – I’m going to go pick up a sheet of the metallic temp tattoos and start decoupage-ing… That’s totally a word, right? Love these!
SUCH a great idea! Can’t believe I didn’t think of this earlier!
I love this diy so much that I already bought my temporary tatoos :))
Wow. These are so pretty and brilliant! I love DIYs that look more expensive than they are. Pinned.

Great idea! Thank you for sharing :)
These really are one of my favorite things you’ve ever made (and you’ve made some amazing stuff!)
I cant seem to find the white ornaments anywhere
can you plain a clear ornament white? will it still work?
I found my ornaments at Michaels. They might not be out for this year yet, but I bet you could find some there! And you could paint them, but I would try the technique where you pour the paint inside a clear bulb rather than painting the outside.
Good luck! Let me know if I can help in any other way!
I know this is a bit of an old post but I was wondering if you had an updated like for the temporary tattoos? I can’t find anything similar right now in the abyss of amazon.
