DIY Bedazzled Christmas Ornament in Silver and Gold

One of the most magical aspects of Christmas is the twinkling lights and sparkling ornaments on the tree. While glittering, bejeweled ornaments add to the enchantment and magic, they are pricey. Instead, DIY a bedazzled Christmas ornament for a fraction of the cost.

Homemade Christmas Decorations Hold Memories

“Silver and gold,
Silver and gold,
Mean so much more
When I see
Silver
And gold decorations
On ev'ry Christmas tree...”
 -Burl Ives

It’s that time again, when Christmas lyrics resound inside our heads. The lyrics from this Christmas carol pair silver and gold together, two colors that look spectacular on a Christmas tree. And what’s not to love about these super-easy DIY bedazzled Christmas ornaments in silver and gold?

Many families have the tradition of making ornaments every year to add something special that manufactured ones can’t match. The beauty lies in creating ones you like, whether simple or elaborate, rustic or vintage.

For this project, I used:

• 1 gold round ornament
• Silver ribbon about ¼ of an inch wide
• Gem Tac
• Wax tipped tool or tweezers
• Black diamond 12ss rhinestones

How to Make These DIY Bedazzled Christmas Ornaments in Silver and Gold

Often, you can get great bargains on plain ornaments that you can save to decorate next year. Some stores even begin discounting holiday trim the week before the holiday. 

Begin by taking off the top metal loop of the ornament.

Then, cut three pieces of ribbon to the circumference of the ornament. For my project, I cut three pieces 8 inches in length. Using your adhesive, glue one piece of ribbon from the top to the bottom and back to the top of the ornament.

​Next, glue the second piece so that the ornament has quarters. Finally, glue the third piece in between the other two pieces of ribbon so that the ribbon divides your ornament into 8 equal sections.
​​Let dry completely.

How to Glue Rhinestones to the Ornament

To glue the bedazzling gems, place a drop of glue slightly smaller than the rhinestone on the ribbon. 
​

Using the wax tipped tool or tweezers, pick up a crystal and gently press it into the glue drop. Continue gluing jewels along the ribbon, spacing them about ¼ of an inch apart. Allow to dry for 24 hours.

When completely dry, replace the metal loop on top of the ornament. You have finished your DIY bedazzled Christmas ornament! Fun and easy to make, these sparkly DIY gold and silver decorations will dazzle hanging on your tree. Why not experiment with different colors for your own bold and sparkly look?
