Rustic Christmas Ornaments

The rustic twine look is one of my favorites for decorating! Sometimes called farmhouse style or country chic, I love the appeal of the simple colors and products in rustic items. This rustic Christmas ornaments idea is super easy to make and allows you to adapt to your own color scheme as needed.

I find the rustic twine in large spools online at Amazon for a great price, but you may find it in smaller packages at your local Hobby Lobby, Michael's, or Joann's craft stores. Since I use it so often, I typically keep a large supply on hand. This is a great rustic addition to any decoration in your home.

Can I Use Ribbon Instead of Twine for This Ornament?

If you have a thin ribbon you would prefer over twine, feel free to add it to this craft ornament instead. Just wrap as you would with the twine, and make sure it is glued in place securely before hanging.

Tip: Check your local craft store for colored twine for adding variety to your rustic decor ideas.

How to Make Ribbon & Lace Rustic Christmas Ornaments

To make this rustic Christmas ornament, you will begin by cutting your rustic thread in around a 6"-8" length. Fold this in half, and tie a not on the loose end. Stick this into the top of your Styrofoam ball. I used scissors to push down into the styrofoam.

Next, you will begin adding hot glue to the ball and wrapping with the same twine securing as you go around the ball in a circle.

Ones you get the entire ball wrapped and the glue has all dried, you will then use a piece of lace and measure around the middle of the ornament. Cut the lace to fit, and glue in place.

Using an alternate color of ribbon, create a small bow, and glue to the center of the lace covering the end pieces where it was glued in place.

Once the glue has dried, you will hang from your Christmas tree.
