As I sat down to record my latest DIY tutorial for Plaid Week, I couldn't help but feel excited and a little bit nervous. It's been three days since I started this series, and I'm eager to share another fun project with all of you. Today, we're going to make some adorable Dollar Tree ornaments that will add a touch of plaid magic to your Christmas tree.

I've been doing Plaid Week for the past two years now, and I have to say, it's one of my favorite things to do. I just love working with different patterns and textures, especially when it comes to plaid. It's not just limited to Christmas time; I enjoy incorporating plaid into my everyday life, too. So, for today's tutorial, I wanted to create a DIY ornament that would fit right in with the rest of my collection.

To get started, I gathered all the materials I needed from Dollar Tree. I was thrilled to see that they carried a beautiful traditional plaid ribbon that caught my eye. I also picked up some 2x3 picture frames, which will serve as the base for our ornaments. The frames have a gold tint to them, but they also come in black and silver, so if you have a more modern style, feel free to choose the one that suits your taste.

Now, let's talk about the materials themselves. I used two types of materials: plaid ribbon and scrapbook paper. At first, I was planning on using scrapbook paper for our ornaments, but then I stumbled upon the gorgeous plaid ribbon at Dollar Tree. It was love at first sight! The quality of this ribbon is impressive; it's not cheap-looking like some other brands I've seen before. Plus, it has a lovely luxurious feel to it.

To make our ornaments, we'll need to peel back the miniature bows on each picture frame. I chose four of them for this project, but you can adjust the number depending on how many ornaments you want to create. Next, we'll cut and trim the length of the plaid ribbon to fit inside the picture frame. It's amazing how easy it is – just place the ribbon inside the frame, and voilà! Our ornament starts taking shape.

Now that our ornament base is ready, let's add some personality to it. I'm going to apply hot glue to attach a cute little red velvet bow to the center of each ornament. You can use any type of embellishment you like – photos, bells, or even decorations on top of the picture frame. The options are endless! As an added touch, I'll tie a balloon knot at the end of the twine and apply some hot glue to secure it.

Before we move forward with our project, let me just say that this is probably the easiest DIY I've ever done. It's amazing how something as simple as a plaid ribbon can add so much charm to an ornament. If you're not into plaid, don't worry – feel free to use any type of picture or decoration you like.

Now that our ornaments are complete, let me show you the finished product one last time. As you can see, they look adorable and festive. I'm excited to hang them on my Christmas tree and enjoy their plaid charm throughout the holiday season. And don't forget – I'll be back with another DIY tutorial tomorrow, so be sure to tune in for Plaid Week Day Four.
