Free Christmas Ornaments Printable: Tree Ornament Templates

Grab this free Christmas ornaments printable! Make your own paper ornaments with easy templates and coloring pages. A cheap holiday craft for kids of all ages.

Is it ever too early to talk about Christmas trees? Not in my house (mine goes up November 1st)! This Christmas ornaments printable is my favorite way to kick off the holiday season with my two kids. You print, color, cut, and hang. It’s that simple, and it’s totally free! ✨

What Are These Printable Christmas Ornaments?

This free set includes 5 pages of printable ornaments in different designs. Some pages feature simple outlines, so that kids can create their own designs. Meanwhile, other pages come with festive designs already printed on them. Basically, there’s something for every crafter in your house.

The set comes as a PDF file, so you can download and print it in seconds. Print the pages on white cardstock paper and color them in. Or print them on colored cardstock and skip the coloring completely. Either way, you end up with cute paper Christmas ornaments ready for your tree! 🌲

Why You’ll Love This Idea

First, it saves you money. You can make your own ornaments with paper and crayons you already have, so there’s no extra cost. Plus, it keeps the kids busy during winter break, and that alone deserves a gold star. You know, those days when everyone has cabin fever by lunchtime!

Even better, it works for kids of all ages. Younger kids can color the simple outlines and build their fine motor skills. On the other hand, older kids can add small details, patterns, and glitter. Teachers, these make great classroom decor too! Honestly, it’s such a fun way to fill your home with holiday spirit.

How to Make Your Christmas Ornaments Printable at Home

Ready to get crafty? Here’s the easy way we do it at our house. 

1. Download the PDF. Grab the free printables and save them to your computer. To download, enter your name and email address in the dark green download box at the bottom of the post. The free templates will be sent to your inbox.
2. Choose your paper. Thick paper like cardstock holds up best on the tree. Use white paper for coloring or colored cardstock for a quick finish.
3. Print the pages. Print all 5 pages, or pick your favorite ornament page.
4. Color and decorate. Use crayons, markers, or coloring pens in your favorite colors.
5. Cut them out. Cut carefully around each ornament shape. Grown-ups can help little kids with tricky edges.
6. Hang them up. Use a hole puncher to make a hole at the top. Then add string, ribbon, or ornament hooks.

Fun Ways to Use Your Paper Ornaments

These DIY ornaments do so much more than hang on a tree! In fact, they work for all kinds of holiday crafting. Here are a few of our favorite ideas:

• Kid-sized tree: Fill a small bedroom tree with their very own Christmas tree ornaments. My kids love having their very own mini trees.
• Gift tags: Write names on the back and tie them to presents. 🎁
• Homemade cards: Glue a colored ornament onto folded cardstock for sweet greeting cards.
• Garland: String several ornaments together on twine to hang across a mantel.
• Bulletin boards: Let each student decorate an ornament for a class display.
• Coloring sheets: Keep a stack handy as quiet-time coloring pages.
• Great gift for Grandma: Kids can color a set, and she’ll treasure it forever.

Variations to Try

Want to mix things up a little bit? These ideas add a fresh twist to the classic ornament outline. Each one turns a simple page into a unique Christmas decoration.

Make Them 3D

Cut out three or more matching ornaments. Then fold each one in half and glue the backs together. Suddenly, you have a fun 3D ornament that spins on the tree!

Add Mixed Media

Glue torn tissue paper inside the blank ornaments for a stained-glass look. You can also twist pipe cleaners into a hanger at the top. Kids love the texture, and it adds so much fun!

Try a Vintage Vibe

Color the ornaments in soft pinks, mint greens, and gold. Then add a little glitter around the edges. It gives your tree a sweet vintage vibe that looks store-bought.

Common Questions About Free Christmas Ornament Templates

Are these ornaments really free?

Yes! You can use them for personal use and non-commercial use. Print them for your family, classroom, or church group. However, please don’t sell them or share the file itself.

What paper works best?

Cardstock works best because it holds up on the tree. Regular printer paper works for coloring, but it bends easily. For full color designs, try matte photo paper for an extra polished look. Laminate for extra durability.

Can I print them in different sizes?

Absolutely! Just adjust the scale in your printer settings. Smaller ornaments make cute gift tags. Meanwhile, bigger ones work great for little hands.

How do I make them sturdier?

Glue the colored ornament onto a second layer of cardstock. Next, let it dry flat under a heavy book. You can also add clear packing tape or contact paper to both sides for a laminated look.
