Upcycled Jello Mold Christmas Ornaments

Hello! I'm back with yet another Christmas craft project... I'm on a roll yo!!

Today I'm sharing some cute little upcycled Jello mold ornaments.


I found a stack of these vintage Jello molds at Goodwill and I immediately saw little diorama ornaments!


I used Christmas themed scrapbook papers and Mod Podge to adhere the papers to the inside, back of each mold.


Then I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch two holes in the top of each mold for the ribbon hanger.


A little Glitter...


Then I went through my craft supply stash of do-dads, thingamajigs, and what-knots and made a little scene in each mold.


I made the little angel from a tiny perfume bottle that I have saved for umpteen years... for who knows why...


I fashioned arms with Silver Tinsel Pipe Cleaners.


The spun cotton head is something that I've had for years but there are some cute one's here: Spun Cotton Doll Heads with Faces. I used another pipe cleaner in the bottom of the head.


Then I just slid the pipe cleaner down into the bottle and used a little glue to secure the head to the bottle.


And the bottle lid created a cute little hat!


Now that I had my little dioramas set up I used Mini Alphabet Rubber Stamps to create some little banners.


And here are the finished products!

Some got mini bottle brush trees. There are some super cute one's here: Pink Bottle Brush Trees. The "ornaments" are pearls off an old necklace.


Mini Glass Ball Christmas Ornaments...


The cute little angel got a little choir book made from a snippet of a music sheet.


This one is my favorite. I love the little deer... there are some different one's here: Plastic Reindeer Ornaments and here are some of the Miniature Mushrooms.


Santa is a vintage ornament I picked up at one of my favorite antique shops.


And this cute little girl is a package tie on. I made a little folded accordion paper piece and glued it behind her so she sticks out from the mold a little bit.


These were fun to make, I love playing around in my craft supplies and making a big ol' glittery mess 😁


Do you have a favorite?
