Huge Christmas Ornaments For DIY Christmas Porch Decorations

Large Christmas Tree Ornaments Materials

For this project, you’re going to need plastic bowls. I got these at the dollar store, but you can also find something similar at hobby lobby or a local craft store.

• 6 plastic bowls
• 3 small cups
• spray paint
• Folk Art Treasure Gold
• Fix All Super Glue
• Twine
• Embellishments

1. Spray Paint the Bowls and cups

We’re going to start by removing the labels from all the bowls.

I’m going to use white Rust-Oleum spray paint that is paint and primer.

I’m going to paint two of the bowls white, two bowls green, and two bowls red. I will let all of these dry completely before moving on to the next step.

I’m going to spray paint three small cups silver as well.

2. Paint the accents of the bowls

For this next step, I’ll be using folk art treasure gold paint. I’m going to use my finger to add accents. I’m just going to have fun building these accents by adding paint into all the grooves to add a little shimmer. There is no right or wrong way to do this. It’s kind of therapeutic actually. So I will add accents to the white, red, and green bowls.

Here they are all finished and now I’m going to let them all dry.

3. Drill the holes

Now I’m going to drill a hole through the top of each bowl, just three of them, one for each ornament. I will also drill a hole in the top of each of the silver cups.

4. Glue the bowls together

Next I will take super glue and put some around all of the edges and then take the other bowl with the hole side up and I set it on top. I want the edges to match so that they have a nice flat surface.

5. Add the twine to hang the bulbs

I’ve tied a knot in some twine and I’m going to stick the strings in and push the knot down through the hole then add a little bit of glue to secure it into place.

I’m going to take the other end of the twine and stick it through the hole of the silver cup and pull it through.

6. Hot glue the embellishments and final touches

I will use my glue gun to add a little hot glue to help hold this little cup in place.

Next, I’ve got a little decoration to add to the top. You can really add anything to your ornaments; jingle bells, fresh greenery, fairy lights, string lights, Christmas lights or red berries. The possibilities are endless.

Now they’re all finished and ready to be hung.

I hung them in my front porch, and there are many places you can hang these full large Christmas ornaments.

Now please continue on to see the video tutorial and several other options for lovely DIY Christmas porch decor.

Large Christmas Tree Ornaments Plastic Plate Garland Materials

• Spray paint
• Hot glue
• Cardboard pieces
• Twine

• Garland

Step 1: Paint the plastic plates

Start by spray painting the black plastic plates using your chosen colors (red, white, orange, and teal). Let them dry completely.

Step 2: Cut and paint cardboard squares

Cut the plastic-coated paper plates into squares. You’ll need four squares in total.

Spray paint the squares with copper paint and let them dry.

Step 3: Assemble the bulbs

Once everything is dry, use hot glue to attach a small cardboard piece to the top of each paper plate.

Cut a piece of twine and make a loop by tying a knot. Hot glue the twine to the back of each paper plate.

Step 4: Hang your garland and large Christmas tree ornaments

Install three hooks above your entryway door. These hooks will be used to hang lights, garland, and other decorations.

Hang the Garland on the hooks around your door.

Hang the paper plates, which resemble bulbs, onto the Garland. Use as many as you prefer.

Step back and admire your finished paper plate bulbs. They are simple to make and budget-friendly.

• Small buckets
• Glue dots
• Painters tape

Step 1: Blow up the beach balls

Inflate the beach balls and gather the Dollar Store buckets and glue dots.

Step 2: Assemble the oversized Christmas ornaments

Attach the glue dots to the buckets and stick them onto the beach balls. Use multiple buckets to secure the beach balls firmly.

Tie a piece of twine onto each bucket for hanging.

Step 3: Hang your oversized Christmas ornaments

Choose your preferred method of hanging. You can use Command hooks, tape, or painters tape on the back side of your porch.

Hang the beach ball ornaments on your front porch using your chosen hanging method.
