Danielle and Kevin Jonas's DIY Christmas Ornaments Are A Sentimental (Yet Chic) Ode To Their Family – And Stunningly Easy to Recreate
The Jonases decorate their tree with their children using ornaments designed at their wedding for a beautiful, snowy finish
A Christmas tree is more than holiday decor; it is a portrait of one's family. From ornaments made by the children to heirloom toppers passed down from grandparents to garlands purchased on vacation, it feels like a curation of times together. Danielle and Kevin Jonas show us how to make the holiday even sweeter by using handmade ornaments from their wedding.
In 2022, Kevin took to Instagram to share a beautiful video of their Christmas tree idea, stating: '13 years later and our girls are hanging our wedding ornaments. [A] few amazing messages from family and friends at our wedding.'
The video shows the couple's daughters hanging up flat white ornaments with gold handwriting. Each features a heartwarming note, signed by guests at the couple's wedding, sprinkling bits of love across their Christmas decor.
To recreate their look, all you need is blank ornaments and a permanent marker, or you can simplify the process with an all-inclusive ornament kit, like this rustic wooden version from $19 at Amazon.

The most important lesson from Danielle and Kevin's tree is that DIY sentimental decor doesn't need to be kitschy or over the top. They ground the more memory-focused pieces with white and clear ornaments over the top of a snow-covered tree for a cool, cohesive Christmas color palette. You can choose whatever looks aligns with your style.
