DIY Baby it’s Cold Outside Hot Cocoa Ornament Gift

Sharing is caring!

Ornament gifts are all the rage. Even better are Ornament gifts that have a dual purpose like these darling Hot Cocoa filled ones.

I love giving gifts. it makes me happy. That is probably why I love Christmas so very much. It is the season for giving. Sometimes I buy gifts for my friends and family. Often, however, (whenever possible) I try to make something. It’s that personal touch that I think makes all the difference to show those I am giving to that I really care.

This year I thought it would be fun to design some cute Ornament Hot Coco gifts for my friends. Why Hot Cocoa Ornaments? Because they are the gift that keeps on giving. First, they look adorable (seriously I love how these ornaments gifts turned out). Second, they are useful (who doesn’t like some yummy Hot Cocoa on a cold winter day.  Third, after the coco is gone,  the ornament can be rinsed out and placed on the tree as a lovely addition.  So now for how I made them….
