How to Make a DIY Pug Ornament for Your Holiday Decorations

Introduction: Pug Christmas Ornaments – Because Your Tree Deserves a Snort of Joy

If there’s one way to show holiday spirit and your undying devotion to your squishy-faced sidekick, it’s by dangling tiny pug ornaments all over your Christmas tree. These jolly little blobs of joy bring the ultimate combo of festivity and flat-faced fabulousness.

Here’s why pug ornaments are the unsung heroes of Christmas décor:

• They scream “I’m a proud pug parent” louder than your actual pug barks at the delivery guy.
• They are just precious gifts—great for children, animal lovers, or that one weirdly specific holiday item-collecting cousin.
• There’s nothing more “family reunion” than a tree covered in bug-eyed, sparkly pug heads.
• They spread joy. Pugs are living, breathing balls of joy, and their ornaments are no exception—shedding aside.

Made of Clay: Classic Ceramic Pug Decoration

It takes more than art to transform a lump of clay into a glorious ceramic pug. It takes science, magic, and a little bit of pug-devoted persistence.

Instructions for conjuring a ceramic pug out of the hands of the pottery gods:

1. Find a pug mold. (Not the furry one napping on your couch.)
2. Pour the ceramic slip into the mold as if it were pancake batter for dog enthusiasts.
3. Allow it to dry while trying not to poke it every five minutes.
4. Pop it out, sand off the bizarre bumps (unless you’d like your pug to resemble one who battled a snowblower).
5. Bake it in a kiln. Not your oven. Yes, people have attempted.
6. Paint it up with non-toxic paint—because licking is unavoidable.
7. Glaze it for that glossy, “I just slobbered myself” look. Fire it again if necessary.

Sparkly Pug Christmas Decor: For That Extra Oomph

Because nothing is more “holiday spirit” than a sparkly pug that resembles it got caught in a craft store explosion.

Materials you’ll need:

• A tiny pug figurine (not your actual dog, we tested it)
• Glitter—ideally ones that you won’t hate later
• Glue (dry is preferred, but not the one you used in third grade)
• A paintbrush you don’t care about anymore
• Ribbon or string to hang your artwork

Instructions:

1. Cover the pug as if it’s going glue sunbathing.
2. Cover with glitter liberally—make that pug sparkle like it just won “Best in Showbiz.”
3. Let it dry. Wait patiently, grasshopper.
4. Shake off any excess glitter (outside is best, or forever be a glitter-infested creature).
5. Hang it proudly. Bask in compliments. Pretend it didn’t take four hours

Vintage Style Pug Ornaments: Retro and Ridiculously Cute

• Some lace, a bell, and probably a tea break

How to do it:

2. Bake it—package instructions, not pizza law.
3. When it’s cool, paint your pug like it’s going to strut down the holiday catwalk.
4. Write names, slogans, or dog jokes on its belly.
5. Hook it and hang it. Done and festive.

Eco-Paw Friendly Pug Ornaments: Save the Planet, One Snort at a Time

Green, glam, and guilt-free? You bet. Here’s how to create Earth-friendly pug ornaments:

• Use recycled paper to repurpose old magazines into pug ears.
• Opt for jute or hemp string so your pug isn’t suffocating on plastic vibes.
• Use non-toxic paint, because licking occurs.
• Upcycle old clothes—yes, that horrid sweater can be reincarnated as pugwear.
• Experiment with biodegradable glitter, so your sparkle won’t outlive your great-grandbabies.

Saving the planet—one festive flat-face at a time.

You don’t have to have a reindeer-wallet to be pug-tastic:

• Plastic Baubles: Long-lasting and affordable, just like your jokes.
• DIY Kits: For the crafty and frugal (you know who you are).
