These temporary tattoo ornaments are so cute! They are one of my favorite Christmas projects ever and the possibilities are endless.
Skills Required: None. Even if you’ve never crafted before, you’ll be able to make these ornaments. You’ll need to be able to spray paint in a well ventilated area.
Are you ready to try a Christmas ornament project that anyone can do? And the good news is that you can get the supplies at the dollar store! These DIY Christmas ornaments are one of my favorite projects I have ever made.
So easy (almost foolproof, which I need because I have had way too many fails on DIYs), the possibilities are endless, and look how cute the final product is.
You are going to want to try this tutorial for tattoo Christmas ornaments, and your kids are too. They can pick their favorite tattoos and have a ball!
Gather These Supplies
- Shatterproof ornaments
- Spray paint (or just buy the ornament in the right color and skip this step)
- Printable temporary tattoo paper (or pre-made temporary tattoos)
- Washcloth
- Water
- Protective enamel spray
- Scissors
Thoughts About This Project:
- You wouldn’t think it’d be hard to find plain white shatterproof ornaments, but IT IS. So I ended up spray painting mine, and that worked fine. But I am always about cutting out steps if possible, so go that route if you can.
- I bought this cute flower art on Etsy, and I love it. You can find similar here. Or, again, cut out this step if you can find cute temporary tattoos already made.
Okay how cute is this, really?! Can you imagine a whole tree decked in these DIY Christmas ornaments? So perfect. Get the printable how to card for this craft below!

Instructions
- Spray paint the ornament with the paint color of your choice. Use several light coats on both sides and let dry.
- Create your tattoo following the printable temporary tattoo paper instructions, or choose a pre-made design. Cut out with scissors just around the design.
- Apply your tattoo to the ornament using a wet washcloth. If you painted your ornament, make sure it is 100% dry before doing this step, or you will wipe the paint right off.
- Spray the ornament with protective enamel spray to seal the tattoo.
