Do you love making your own DIY Christmas tree ornaments? This fun “Game of Life” version is based on the popular game from your childhood!
Growing up, I always loved playing The Game of Life. Imagining what career and family I would have someday was so exciting! My kids love to play the game now too. We love making DIY Christmas tree ornaments and I thought it would be cute to make an ornament with some old game pieces.
Don’t worry, no games were harmed in the making of this ornament. I ordered the pieces off eBay from someone who was selling extras. The little people pegs represent our family! Just enough to fill up the car.
Game of Life Ornament for Christmas
To make your own, you’ll need:
- Clear plastic ball ornament (it needs to have a flat bottom and be open in the front)
- Life game pieces – house, car, and people
- Small bottlebrush tree
- Artificial snowflakes
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- White school glue
- Ribbon
- Wire cutters (optional)
Depending on the size of your tree, you might need to trim it down to fit inside the ball. Use some wire cutters to cut off the bottom if it’s too big.
Use a VERY small amount of hot glue to secure each of the people pegs in the car. I just dipped the very bottom of each peg in some of the hot glue dripping out of my glue gun.
Hot glue the house and tree to the bottom of the ornament first.
Next, hot glue the car in front of the house.
Squeeze a little white school glue around the bottom of the ornament and sprinkle some fake snowflakes on top.
Tie a ribbon to the top of the ornament and hang it in the tree! I love it!
