I have a confession. I don’t like Rae Dunn coffee mugs. You know the ones with the random words written across them. I’ve never bought one. And I never got the obsession. I did however like the design and her unique handwriting, so I was inspired. I decided to use the design and put it on christmas ornaments and I have to say I love my Rae Dunn inspired christmas ornaments!

Weed out the unwanted pieces of vinyl. To transfer to ornament, I always just use contact paper. It’s not overly sticky and gets the job done, plus it’s super cheap!
What do you think of my Rae Dunn inspired Christmas ornaments? I think I love them! So simple, yet so festive!
Love them. Have you ever done anything for Christmas using Tea Cups??
Thanks, Ann! I have not as I don’t own any but I bet those would be cute too!
I like these ornaments a lot – they are very stylish, elegant and clean cut. And it seems that they are not very complicated to make. Good job!
Thank you!!
Oh what a lovely idea! We’ve never made our own baubles but we do make salt dough decorations each year and they make gorgeous gifts too!
Thanks, Laura! We’ve never made those but I bet that would be fun to do with our daughter too!
These are just the cutest! Our Christmas tree is always filled with handmade ornaments and every year we add a couple more. These I’m going to make for sure. I love the minimalist feel and the font is really great. x
Thanks, Alison! I love this font so much and will definitely be using it on way more!
These look amazing and would work so well with in a clear / ice style and white Christmas decoration theme.
Yes, I so agree Emma!
I know the style you’re referring to but didn’t realise there was a specific designer behind it, mainly because these types of things are everywhere aren’t they? Love the idea of making these and putting a personal touch on decorations!
Jess, yes! They are the coffee mugs that people fight over in stores haha!
It sounds so simple to do and the end resulr is simply WOW! I’m so glad you included the links to the products too – I wouldn’t know where to get them around here. Perfect weekend projects with the kids and a lovely Xmas present too.
Shut the front door! This is awesome! One of the best things I’ve seen lately on DIY!
Love how you put your personal creativity into these Christmas ornaments. They look elegant and modern.
You are SO creative! What a FANTASTIC and unique idea! Adding a personal touch to Christmas ornaments is really smart because it helps cement the memories of the holiday for the family. Great job and thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much! I definitely cherish handmade ornaments more than the store bought ones!
This is a great idea! I’ve been using that font in some of my blog posts as well. I like minimalist decors and this one is right on my alley!
Love this font! It really works with just about everything!
These are so cool! I love making our own ornaments each christmas! It makes it feel more personable!
you make look it so easy, even thought I imagine you must be a very creative person so able to work with hands! I’ll try to make at least a couple of them and I’ll let you know.
Oh my gosh! These are seriously so cute! I wish I had one of those machines. I would need to learn how to use it lol
I agree with you about the mugs, but these ornaments are really cute and giving a modern vibe to the christmas decoration. Following your pinterest board for more awesome festive ideas.
This is such a cute idea. Do you think this would be good for scouts to be able to make too?
We don’t have Rae Dunn in the UK (at least, not that I’ve seen so far) but I do have a Cricut! Thanks so much for sharing this and for including the font, it will come in really handy! Now to source some lovely glossy white baubles… ! Sue via #CreateLinkInspire
You did such a beautiful job. I’m very impressed by the elegant work.
Hey there Hayden (all the way from rainy London!). I bumped into your blog from your facebook group request and boy I am glad you did that! Love the content of your blog and this post is just evidence that you take it one step further with your DIY. These are so beautiful I would never have thought they are DIY to be honest (and would be prepared to pay dearly for them. Would these be able to come in smaller sized baubles if you print in smaller font? I was thinking that smaller baubles with these words could come really handy as decor in christmas presents. You could even write names or special messages on them. Really excited now! 🙂
Hello i have been wanting to make these for a while now and just google and your site pop up. I’m glad it did this is amazing do you mind telling the size you cut out the words for the ornaments i want to start making them for this years tree 🙂
Hi there! I believe they were 2″ x 1″ but it will all depend on your ornament so you’ll want to make sure to measure that first(:
