DIY Ornament Bar FAQ

What is a DIY Ornament Bar?

An Ornament Bar is a fun, hands-on creative experience where guests design and decorate their own custom holiday ornaments! Think of it like a make-your-own-ornament station — complete with all the supplies, tools, and inspiration you need to create something beautiful and unique.

Depending on how you host it, an Ornament Bar can be:

🎉 An in-person event — guests choose their ornaments, paints, ribbons, and beads, then decorate at a setup “bar” stocked with all the supplies.
📦 A take-home kit — everything you need (3 ornaments, ribbon, paint, beads, and tools) shipped right to your door or free pickup for at-home crafting fun.

Each person gets to customize their ornaments in their own style — from elegant and sparkly to fun and colorful — and take home beautiful handmade keepsakes for their tree or to give as gifts.

What’s included?

Each Ornament Bar setup includes:

A variety of blank ornaments
A variety of paint colors
Assorted ribbons and beads
Mini crafting toolkit (brushes, sponges, twine, etc.)
Access to a creative setup station (if attending an in-person event)
Everything you need to design and decorate your own beautiful ornaments—no additional materials required!
