I have always loved home-made Christmas ornaments! So much so, in fact, that well over half the ornaments on our tree are handmade. We add new ornaments each year, and have been for so long that a few years back we found that we could no longer fit all of them on the tree.

In response, we decided to add a second tree for the family room; to simplify the division of ornaments, DH suggested that we go with a theme for the second tree. Great idea! We are big Looney Tunes fans, and we decided that the new tree should showcase our collection of ornaments featuring Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester, and the rest of the classic LT gang.

At the time, we already owned several Looney Tunes orna-ments, both purchased and homemade, but we didn't have nearly enough to fill an entire tree. I purchased some addi-tional commercial ornaments to help fill out the collection, but we still wanted to keep up our tradition of handmades.  They make our tree uniquely our own, and as a bonus in this case, making my own ornaments allows us to include some of the minor characters who are difficult or impossible to find in commercial ornaments -- including Hubby's all-time favorite character, Sylvester Junior. 

So it is that since 2015 I've had fun crafting unique one-of-a-kind LT ornaments; I'd estimate at this point that I've made somewhere around 150 Looney Tunes-themed decorations, many of which I've featured on the site.

To make these, I've used mainly images I purchased (stickers, calen-dars, greeting cards, printed ribbon, iron-on transfers, buttons, giftwrap, paper punches, spangles, and playing cards). As you browse the various pages of the site you'll find information on using these ideas as a starting point for your own themed creations.

Although the samples are mostly Looney-Tunes related, you can use these same ideas to create one-of-a-kind orna-ments on any subject, whether it's classic cartoons, Harry Potter, super heroes, favorite TV shows, university sports, Dr. Seuss, Calvin & Hobbes, or your own family memories. In several cases I've also shown non-LT versions in addition to the Looney Tunes ones I made for our family room tree.

To see a sampling of the Looney Tunes collection, click on any one of the images in the gallery at right and scroll through the slide show. The ornaments are named, and the links at the top of the page will take you to more detailed descriptions of each ornament, along with information about how I made them.

Merry Christmas!
