Designed especially for younger crafters — and the young at heart — these Layered Watercolor Ornaments are just as fun to make as they are to display. Each ornament is made from layered watercolor shapes that stack to create depth and texture for a one-of-a-kind piece. It’s a great project to lose yourself in during the live workshop, or make it a family affair to create a treeful. During this session, we’ll also guide you through creating our Felt & Wood Ball Winter Fairy ornaments, making it a magical afternoon of color, creativity, and holiday fun.

We love this project because it’s all about freedom and imagination. There’s no perfect brushstroke and no right or wrong color palette. Kids can go bold with bright rainbow hues, stay soft with icy winter blues, or mix in gold accents for a touch of holiday enchantment. Both crafts in this series offer the perfect balance of painting and assembly — allowing little makers to explore creativity and storytelling through handmade décor.

When it’s all said and done, we can’t wait to see what you create! Be sure to share your finished Layered Watercolor Ornaments using #MadeWithLia or upload them to our crafting community.

Our Crafty Wonderland 2025 LIVE Workshop Series is a week-long holiday project party starting November 17–21. Each day at noon PT, we'll host a live video session featuring two festive crafts designed to spark joy and inspiration ahead of the holiday season. If you’d prefer to work at your own pace — no worries! Come back here to watch the replay, either way: relax, reset, and craft.
