How to Draw a Christmas Ornament
Draw a Christmas ornament in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the bauble.
Step 1: The bauble
In the middle of your paper, a little low, draw one big round circle about as wide as your hand.
Step 2: The cap
On top of the circle draw a small box with 2 lines down it. Add a little ring on top.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Above the middle of the ball draw 2 big egg eyes. Add a big black dot with a white shine.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile. Add a small flat oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The hook
Start on the little ring and draw a line up. Curve it over like a candy cane and stop.
Step 6: A band
Below the smile draw a curve from the left edge of the ball to the right. Add another just below.
Step 7: Zigzag
Start on the left edge between the curves. Zig up and down across and stop on the right edge.
Step 8: Shine
Just inside the top left edge of the ball, draw a short curve that follows the edge for a shine.
Step 9: Sparkles
Draw 4 sparkle stars floating round the bauble, 2 on each side.
Step 10: Yellow cap and band
Colour the cap, the ring and the whole zigzag band yellow.
Step 11: Pink cheeks, blue sparkles
Colour the cheeks pink and the sparkles sky blue.
Step 12: Red bauble
Colour the ball red around the yellow band and pink cheeks, leaving the eyes white. Your ornament is ready!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a Christmas ornament, drawn by you.
