The arrival of the Christmas season brings with it a joyful and festive atmosphere, illuminating our homes with bright lights and dazzling garlands. And, of course, the Christmas tree becomes the focal point of all eyes. This year, I invite you to add a personal and creative touch to your tree with handmade ornaments made of foam rubber.
This tutorial is not just a guide to create ornaments; it is an invitation to unleash your creativity. With foam rubber, you can customize your Christmas ornaments in different colors, shapes, and details, tailoring them to your taste and personal style.
Materials You’ll Need:
Foam sheets in various colors.

Pencil.
Ruler.
Decorative ribbon or thread for hanging.
Beads and/or sequins (optional).
Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Preparation of Materials
Start by cutting the foam rubber according to the indicated measurements. You will need a 6 cm x 6 cm square, which you will use later for the ornament bow, and another 10 cm x 10 cm square for the base. You will also need strips of 1.5 cm x 8 cm and 2 cm x 12 cm.
This is what the 6 cm x 6 cm piece you will use later for the bow of the ornament looks like.
Step 2: Creating the Base
The 10 cm x 10 cm square will be the base of your ornament. Mark 1 cm on one of the edges to start shaping the form.
Step 3: Join the Two Pieces
Apply hot glue and attach the 2 cm x 12 cm piece right in the space created by the 1 cm mark. Glue it well to the edge, and you will notice an excess sticking out. That’s okay, don’t cut it off.
Step 4: Folding the Foam Sheet
Join the two ends of the foam rubber with the decorative side facing inwards. Fix with clamps to maintain the shape while you make cuts along the square without exceeding the 1 cm strip.
It should look something like this.
Step 5: Close by joining the two parts with hot glue.
Step 6: Close the wreath
To close the crown, take the excess foam rubber and glue it over the other end as shown in the following photo.
Step 7: Add a Cord
To hang your ornaments on the tree, you need to add a strong cord or thread. Make a loop with it and glue it to the piece you cut at the beginning (1.5 cm x 8 cm). Glue the loop at one end and start rolling it to form a small cylinder. Then glue it to the crown you just closed.
Step 8: Make a Decorative Bow.
Step 9:Â Now all that’s left is to decorate with what you have on hand. In my case, I used little diamonds on the wreath and in the center of the bow.
And now it only remains to decorate with what you have on hand. In my case, I used little diamonds on the crown and in the center of the bow.
