The Grinch is a Christmas classic, and for good reason.

Instead of focusing on all of the “stuff” surrounding Christmas, focus on the joy of togetherness and loving those you have. 

It also has a wonderful lesson in forgiveness. 

All around, I enjoy having little reminders around us to encourage finding the joy in all the right places.

Supplies Needed

• Clear plastic or glass ball ornaments
• Green foil shreds
• Hot glue gun
• Red heart buttons

The clear ornaments we used we found at Hobby Lobby. You can use glass or plastic, it’s all based on your preference. 

Since we have little kids in the house, we prefer the plastic ones.

You can get the green foil shreds there too, along with the red heart buttons. 

Of course, you can order most of the supplies online as well. 

How to Make Grinch Ornaments

This is seriously one of the easiest ornaments ever to make! 

Start by grabbing your clear ornaments and uncapping them.

Fill them with the green foil shreds or whatever other green material you’d like to use. We’ll give you more ideas below!

If need be, you can use the butt end of a pen or paint brush to push the shreds down into the ornament bulb. 

Recap your ornaments after filling with the green foil shreds.

Heat up your hot glue gun and grab your red heart buttons. 

Now glue the heart button to the front of the Christmas ornament. 

That’s it! Your handmade grinch ornaments are ready in all of their Grinchy Christmas spirit. They’re fantastic as homemade gifts or DIY Christmas decorations.

Tips for Improvising your Grinch Ornaments

If you want to try making your own version of these grinch Christmas ornaments, you can totally use other materials and they would look fantastic!

You could fill your ornaments with pretty much anything green. Pom poms, fabric, candies, yarn, beads. Anything green would be pretty! 

And as far as the red heart, we used a button.

But you could easily paint a red heart onto the front of your ornament. 

You could also cut out a heart from paper, fabric or foil. 

The possibilities are endless!

Green base, red heart, you’re good to go!
