Bows are everywhere this holiday season. They are all the rage. When I saw rhinestone bow Christmas ornaments in a store recently, I loved the look but didn’t love the price tag. I knew I could recreate them myself for a fraction of the cost and make a bunch more for my tree!
These DIY Rhinestone Bow Christmas Ornaments are quick, budget-friendly, and add a touch of sparkle and glam to your holiday decor. Whether you love the elegant look of jeweled bows or just want to hop on the latest Christmas trend, this project is perfect for you.

-
Rhinestone Shoelaces (these come in many colors)
-
Metal Clips (you could also use floral wire)
-
Spray Paint (optional, if you want to change the color of the clips)
How to Make DIY Rhinestone Bow Ornaments
Step 1: Spray paint your clips (optional).
If you want the clips to match your tree decor, give them a quick coat of spray paint. I wanted mine to be gold, so I used my spray paint we already had on hand. Let them dry completely before moving on.
Step 2: Make your bows.
Cut the rhinestone shoelaces to your desired length and tie them into bows. Pull the center knot tight so the bow holds its shape. You can trim the ends at an angle for a polished look.
Step 3: Attach the bows to the clips.
Use a dab of hot glue or the bendable metal part of the clip to secure the bow in place. Make sure it’s centered and firmly attached.
Step 4: Hang and enjoy!
Clip the bows onto your Christmas tree branches, garland, stockings, or even your wreath. They add the perfect sparkle and texture to your holiday decor.
