Handmade Maleficent Ornament

The trend for putting up a Halloween tree has been growing over the past few years (mainly because of Instagram!) and as someone who loves Halloween, it is only appropriate that I should have one too. In all actuality, I’ve got two Halloween trees!

However, unlike the trend which seems to be regular Christmas trees that are then decorated with spooky ornaments; mine are artificial, black, manzanita trees and I love hanging all of my Halloween ornaments on them each year!

To that end, I’ve got an awesome handmade Maleficent ornament to share with you today – which can be hung on both a Halloween tree and a Christmas tree too. PLUS, I’ve got more Disney ornament crafts coming so make sure you are part of The Pumpkin Patch (details below) so that you don’t miss the tutorials when they are released!

How to make Handmade Maleficent Ornament

Assembling this Halloween (or Christmas!) Disney Villain ornament is really easy. There are some photos to guide you through, or you can save the video tutorial to your YouTube Playlists for future reference. (Don’t forget to subscribe while you are there!)

Simply print the template onto the corresponding colored paper or card and cut the pieces out. Alternatively, you could print onto regular paper and trace around the pieces onto the colored card, especially if you are worried that it won’t go through your printer.

Then apply white school glue to the flame design and sprinkle well with glitter. Shake off the excess and leave to dry completely.

When the ears are dry, use a glue stick to stick all the different parts together – use the photos as a guide if you’re not quite sure, but you should be able to figure out what goes where.

Just one more step which is sticking a loop of black string or ribbon to the back of the ornament. Leave everything to dry completely before hanging on your tree!

If you want the decoration to last longer, you could run it through a laminator before attaching the hanging loop. When cutting out after laminating the ornament, make sure you leave a slight edge so that the laminating sheets do not come apart!
