DIY Emoji Ornaments

Whether you’re happy, sad, or LOL with tears, there’s an emoji that describes your feelings. These fun—and surprisingly quick-to-make—emoji ornaments will add instant personality to your tree.

What’s great about this project is that I recently found a new way to make yarn pom poms. Instead of the time consuming cardboard ring way or a store bought pom pom maker, you can make these puffy balls by simply wrapping yarn around two toilet paper rolls.  I don’t know about you, but whoever discovered this pom pom technique is my new crafting spirit animal.

Step 8: Cut the round edges of the ball of yarn. Be sure not to cut your middle string because that is what you’re going to use to hang your ornament on your tree. Tie it together now so you can keep track of it while you’re doing steps 9 and 10.
