How to make personalized Christmas ornaments
So, these sports themed Christmas ornaments have inspirational sticker sayings on them. If you would rather use someone else’s name, like your child, spouse or coach, you will have to find stickers with their names on them. You can often find them at places like Walmart. Or, you can make the stickers yourself.

Needed supplies
These supplies were originally found at Hobby Lobby. So, you might be able to find them there yourself. You can check at your favorite craft store if you can’t. Or, if you can’t, you can order these online to make these sports themed Christmas ornaments.
- Clear plastic or glass ball ornaments
- Mini Christmas sports ornaments (similar)
- Scissors
- Hot glue or tacky glue
- Inspirational wood stickers
Sports themed Christmas ornaments directions
This craft was created using mini ornaments which are now out of stock at Hobby Lobby and I cannot find the exact ones on Amazon. So, if you find them locally at your store, you can use those. Be sure to remove the tops from the ornaments if you get those. Or, I have linked to mini beads in sports themes that you can use instead.
- Remove the cap from each ornament. Set aside carefully so they don’t get lost.
- Drop the beads/ornaments into the clear ornament and replace the cap.
- Using hot glue or tacky glue, attach the inspirational word to the outside of the clear ornament. Remember that if your child is helping you, they should not use the hot glue gun unless they are older.
- Allow to dry completely before packaging or displaying.
