Crochet Winter Ornaments

These crochet Winter ornaments are a beautiful project to make for the Holidays! Besides home decor, they also will make cute small gifts for your friends and family.

After I published my crochet Fall ornaments, I received multiple requests for Winter-themed ones.  After thinking about this, I designed two ornaments in a “Let it Snow!” theme to bring some white winter to your homes!

Below you will find two Winter ornament designs – a Snowman Catching Snowflakes ornament and a Christmas Trees ornament.

The Snowman Catching Snowflakes ornament has a crochet snowman applique with its arms up and trying to catch snowflakes.

The Christmas trees ornament has a crochet Christmas tree applique and Christmas tree craft buttons.

For the snowflakes on both ornaments, I used small snowflake buttons.  I love craft buttons and use them in many of my crochet designs.

Here are some designs with buttons you may like: crochet Winter Snow Globe, crochet Halloween Snow Globe, crochet Gingerbread Stocking,  Giraffe crochet wall art, and Flamingo Love crochet wall art.
