When it comes to decorating for the holidays, I like to keep things simple but elegant. That’s why I am so excited to share with you my amaryllis inspired Christmas ornament.
So pretty and so incredibly easy to make…just the way Christmas should be! It’s the perfect ornament for the 31 Days of Handmade Christmas Ornaments Blog Hop hosted by Yesterday on Tuesday, Cupcakes and Crinoline, and An Extraordinary Day. Did you happen to see the cute rustic and rusty ornaments 504 Main shared yesterday?
I love how pretty this ornament looks on my mini kitchen Christmas trees. Can you imagine how amazing a huge tree would look all decked out with these ornaments?!
If you aren’t really a ‘crafter’ but would love to decorate your tree with something homemade, this DIY ornament tutorial is definitely for you!

Supplies for Amaryllis Inspired Christmas Ornament:
(2) 12 x 12″ shimmer cardstock sheets
(1) 100 ct Long Pearlized Pins (red) 1 1/2″
(1) ribbon
Start by using the daisy lever punch to make several hundred card stock flowers.
Next stack two flowers together, place on the Styrofoam ball and then insert a pin into the center. Take another pin and lightly fluff/bend the leaves of the flowers to give them a 2-d look. Continue with this step until the ball is completely covered with flowers.
Then use the ribbon to make a separate bow and loop. Fold the ribbon for the loop in half and then pin onto the ball.
Take the ribbon bow and place directly on top of the pinned loop. Attach the bow with a pin in an inconspicuous location. Now the ornament is finished and ready to adorn your tree!

This ornament is so pretty, love the pop of red and the layers of texture!
This is such a pretty ornament, Laura. It’s going to look fabulous on your tree this Christmas.
What a creative and pretty ornament. I love the combination of red white with a touch of black. Definitely simple and elegant!
This is such a lovely and elegant ornament, Laura. It is truly worthy of being a special gift that will be treasured for sure. I recently purchased that same flower punch and I have a couple of good sized balls in my stash. Hmmm… there might be a new ornament in the making at my house. 😉
Thanks so much for joining up with us this year! It’s really a blessing. xo
What a handmade treasure! I’ve never seen those pretty red-headed pins before, but they are really neat–the combination of red and white look beautiful. And I love that you chose a black and white ribbon to set the ornament off. You’ve created a beautiful keepsake!

Laurie, push pins have never looked so lovely. This is really cute and I actually have all the supplies already in-house for this-lol.
I have so many little flower die cut presses from my scrapbooking days. This cute little ornament is a good reason to finally pull them out and put them to good use.
