DIY keepsake Christmas ornaments

The holiday season is such a magical time. Around the holidays it is always nice to pause and reflect on all that has taken place over the last year. Each holiday season brings its own share of special memories. You may be celebrating your first holiday as a married couple, cherishing baby's first Christmas, or celebrating a first Christmas as a pet owner!  A thoughtful ornament to hang on your Christmas tree is the perfect keepsake to commemorate the milestones you have reached this year. Pearhead offers a variety of keepsake ornaments that will help you do just that! Even better...these ornaments have an element of "do it yourself," allowing you to truly create a custom keepsake to cherish for years to come.
