• large green craft pompom
• green pipe cleaner and scissors to cut it in half
• red and white acrylic paint and brushes
• hot glue gun

How to Make This Fun DIY Grinch Ornament for Kids

This is one of those DIY Christmas crafts where you can decide how much time to spend on it. The painting of the chimney is the longest section and we like to see a bit of texture and grit there, but if you take your time, the lines can be made perfectly straight with a bit of tape.

If you’d like to add this craft to a Christmas playlist on YouTube, here is our DIY Grinch Ornament video tutorial.
