Making Simple DIY Christmas Hello Kitty Ornaments

Looking for a fun, festive, and easy Christmas coloring craft? This step-by-step guide will show you how to draw, color, and assemble your very own Hello Kitty Christmas Tree Ornaments, perfect for decorating your tree, gifting to friends, or adding a touch of charm to your holiday decor.

Each ornament can be customized into adorable Christmas themes, like Reindeer Hello Kitty, Santa Hello Kitty, or even a Frozen-inspired Snowflake Hello Kitty. It’s a cheerful, creative craft that’s fun for both kids and adults alike!

⚠️ Adult supervision is required. Some steps involve scissors and taping ribbons, which should be done carefully by an adult or with close supervision.

What You Will Need

  • Plain sheet of card (Letter, A4, or similar – thicker paper works best)
  • Pencil and eraser
  • Black marker or pen (for outlining)
  • Coloring supplies (non-toxic markers, crayons, or colored pencils)
  • Scissors (safety scissors for kids)
  • Tape
  • Ribbon (for hanging)

Safety Notes

  • Scissors: Always use child-safe scissors when possible. Adults should handle or closely supervise any cutting steps.
  • Markers & Coloring Supplies: Use non-toxic art materials. Allow coloring to dry fully before cutting to prevent smudges.
  • Tape: Use safe, non-toxic adhesive. Ensure ribbon loops are securely fastened before hanging.
  • Work Surface: Use a clean, flat area for crafting. Place a cutting mat or scrap board underneath when cutting to protect surfaces.
  • Hanging Ornaments: Make sure ribbon loops are strong and evenly attached so your Hello Kitty ornaments hang straight and securely on the tree.

DIY Hello Kitty Ornaments Step by Step Guide

Step 1:
Start with a plain sheet of card (Letter, A4, or similar). Card works best for durability.

Step 2:
Using a pencil, lightly draw Hello Kitty’s head near the center of your card. Add her rounded ears.

Step 3:
Complete your drawing by adding Hello Kitty’s bow, full body, outfit, and festive details. Give her a cute Christmas collar and finish the antlers to make her look ready for the holidays!

Step 4:
Outline Hello Kitty with a black marker or pen to make the drawing bold and clear. This will help define the lines and make it easier to color in later.

Step 5:
Begin coloring your festive Hello Kitty! Start with a brown marker for her reindeer antlers, headband, and outfit accents. Use gentle, even strokes to fill in the areas neatly.

Step 6:
Carefully cut around the edges of Hello Kitty using scissors. Take your time to follow the outline neatly. An adult should handle the cutting for safety.

Step 7:
Prepare a short piece of ribbon to create a loop for hanging. This will be attached to the back of your Hello Kitty design so it can hang on the Christmas tree like an ornament or bauble.

Step 8:
Attach the ribbon loop to the back of your Hello Kitty design using tape. Make sure it’s secure enough to hold when hanging on the Christmas tree.
