Christmas Feather-Filled Rhinestone Ornaments

The holidays always bring out that creative spark, don’t they? There’s just something about trimming the tree with ornaments you’ve made yourself that feels so much more personal than store-bought decor.

This year, I decided to try something a bit softer and more whimsical—a delicate, feather-filled ornament with a sprinkle of rhinestone sparkle and a little blue bow on top.

It’s the kind of decoration that adds a dreamy, cozy vibe to the tree, especially when paired with other homemade touches.

If you’re like me and love adding little handmade details to each branch, this project might just be the perfect addition to your collection. It’s a quick and easy DIY, but the end result looks so elegant, almost like a tiny snow globe captured inside a clear ornament.

How to Make a Feather-Filled Rhinestone Ornaments

Supplies:

• Clear plastic or glass ornament (fillable)
• Small white feathers
• Self-adhesive rhinestones (tiny, blue, or whatever matches your color scheme)
• Blue organza ribbon (for the bow)
• Small glue dots or hot glue (optional, for securing the ribbon)

Tools:

• Tweezers
• Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

Instructions:

Step 1: Open and Prepare Your Ornament

Start by carefully opening the top of your clear ornament and cleaning well with alcohol to remove grease and dust.

Most fillable ornaments have a removable top that makes it easy to add in decorative elements. Just a gentle twist should do it, but if it feels stuck, be cautious not to crack the ornament.

Step 2: Add the Feathers

Gently insert the white feathers into the ornament. The goal is to create a soft, cloud-like effect that fills up about half to three-quarters of the ornament, depending on how full and fluffy you want it to look.

If the feathers are a bit too big, you can trim them down, but keeping them fluffy will give a cozy, snowy effect inside the ornament.

Step 3: Close the Ornament

Once you’re happy with how the feathers are arranged, go ahead and put back the top of the ornament.

Give it a gentle shake to settle the feathers if needed, but don’t worry too much about perfection. The slight randomness is part of the magic!

Step 4: Decorate with Rhinestones

Take your tiny self-adhesive rhinestones with your tweezers and carefully place them around the outside of the ornament. You can arrange them randomly for a scattered, sparkly look or follow a specific pattern if you like.

Just press each rhinestone onto the ornament’s surface, and they should stick easily.

Pro Tip: If you’re worried about the rhinestones staying put, add a teeny-tiny dot of clear glue before sticking them down for extra hold.

Step 5: Add the Bow

To finish off your ornament, tie a small, neat bow with your blue organza ribbon. Make it as big or as small as you like.

Attach the bow to the top of the ornament, right at the base of the hanger. You can use a glue dot or a touch of hot glue to keep it secure.

Step 6: Hang and enjoy

Your ornament is ready to add a sweet touch to your Pink and Blue Christmas theme!

Hang it up, step back, and enjoy the sparkly ornament on the gorgeous tree. It’s amazing how something so simple can look so magical.

Alternatives and Substitutions

Instead of feathers, white or pastel tule can also create that magical and delicate look.

Clear ornaments are classic but colored transparent ornaments (like soft pink, blue, or even frosted) can give a different effect and add depth to the colors inside.

Instead of an organza ribbon, try swapping it for a thin satin ribbon, baker’s twine, or even a strip of lace.

For a rustic or farmhouse twist, swap the blue organza ribbon with jute twine, gingham, or even plaid ribbon.
