To say I love personalized Christmas ornaments is an understatement! I started making them myself when I was a teenager and STILL have them! I can’t believe they haven’t disintegrated in FIFTY years!😱 Back then they were called bread dough ornaments because they were made with flour and salt dough that looked like bread. I made them every year for many years. I would paint them with acrylic paints and then dip them in a polyurethane gloss to make them shiny and protect them.

I remember one year I made a set of family ornaments for a dear, dear friend and she left them on her kitchen counter. While she was at work, her sweet Labrador Molly Ruth, ate them all! 😳 So all that salt, paint, and polyurethanes she consumed! She did survive, I don’t think had any problems! Labs have cast iron stomachs I think! Ha! 🎄

My sweet friend is pictured above and every Christmas we would escape the kids for three days and had the best time selling personalized Christmas ornaments at her church Christmas market. Everyone loves them so much and I continue to give them to this day. (I don’t make them anymore!) They make such precious memories and you can order them for however many family members you need and all their names and years are personalized on the ornament. These are some of the ones I have chosen to give in the past, but lots to choose from! 🎅🏼
