Yes, another DIY ornament for your tree this year. I think there’s something special about having ornaments to commemorate the major events in your life—new babies, new homes, first Christmases of all kinds. And I love this simple key print idea for making a first-Christmas-in-a-new-house ornament from In the Little Yellow House.

It’s as easy as getting a clay you bake in the oven, like Sculpey, making the shape you want, pressing in your house key. Then you can paint or write on the date once the clay has been baked according to the package directions. Just don’t forget the hole for the ribbon or ornament hanger!
