Little Debbie Christmas Tree Ornaments

Christmas Tree Cakes from Little Debbie were my favorite snack ever when I was a kid! When they came up with Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes Ice Cream my WORLD changed! While I don’t eat them anymore, I do still have a special place in my heart for those tasty trees!

This year my Christmas tree theme is red and white, and I knew I wanted to make a cute version of those snack cakes as a Christmas tree ornament! These cute DIY Little Debbie Christmas Tree Ornaments were born as a result, and I’ll show you how to make them!

How to Make Little Debbie Christmas Tree Ornaments (VIDEO)

The process is so easy, you’re going to love it! Check out this short video for the whole process from start to finish! Or read the written directions below instead!

Step 1: Gather your supplies.

You will need:

• Christmas Tree Shaped Ornaments
• White Acrylic Paint
• Green Acrylic Paint
• Ribbon
• Green Beads
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Strong Glue (I use E6000)
• Twine or Yarn

Step 2: Paint the trees white.

I used a foam paintbrush to paint a thin coat of white paint onto the plain wooden ornaments. I painted both the front and back in a very thin coat, so they dried very fast.

Acrylic paint is cheap at Walmart (I get the fifty-cent bottles) so I always have it on hand. Let these dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Step 3: Add the red frosting stripes.

Next, you will need to use a thin paintbrush (the foam ones don’t work well for this) to make the red frosting stripes. I looked at the box to copy my pattern, but really, red curvy lines will work fine.

Step 4. Add the beads for sprinkles.

Once the paint is dry, use E6000 or strong craft or super glue to apple the green tube beads as sprinkles.

Pro Tip: Use tweezers to place these tube beads! I normally skip using tweezers with beads, but for this project, it saved me a ton of time and frustration.

Step 5. Add a hanger and a bow.

Once the glue holding on the green sprinkles is completely dry, you’re ready to finish your DIY Little Debbie Christmas Tree Ornament up!

First use the twine that came with the tree ornaments to make the topper by tying it through the hole at the top. If you didn’t order those ornaments specifically, you can always use your own twine or hook.

I used a cute 3/8″ red striped ribbon I had on hand to make a bow and glued it on with hot glue after I attached the hanger.

When your DIY Little Debbie Christmas Tree Ornaments are finished they should look something like this! These are great because they’re lightweight, quick to make, super adorable and nostalgic, and everyone will love them!
