Each year we make ornaments for our Christmas tree. This year we partnered with #BumblebeeMovie for a Bumblebee ornament party.
In the past, our ornament parties were a bit hectic. We had homemade cookies and hot chocolate, a lot of painting and more of a mess! This year we kept things simple by:
- Making a large batch of hot chocolate instead of individual cups one at a time.
- Pre-painting the ornaments.
- Not baking cookies. We had Oreos!

On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small Californian beach town. Charlie (Hailee Steinfeld), on the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. When Charlie revives him, she quickly learns this is no ordinary, yellow VW bug.
Jamming like it’s 1987
DIY TRANSFORMERS ORNAMENTS
We painted wood ornaments and decorated the ornaments with different Transformers faces.
To make the party easier (and cleaner) I painted the wooden ornaments. I knew it would be better to let the kids decorate the ornaments after the paint – otherwise the paint process would take too long and probably make too much of a mess.
To make our ornaments Bumblebee themed we filled clear ornaments with black and yellow beads and made a necklace out of the beads as well.
Can you tell the kids were excited? They all wanted to wear masks and t-shirts!
If you’re in San Antonio make sure to grab your tickets and watch the Bumblebee Movie this holiday season!

This is such a cute idea! And great thinking to prepaint the ornaments. Looks like everyone had fun!
An ornament party! Oh, what a fun Christmas idea/tradition. I have never heard of this, but we may try it next year! 🙂

this sounds like a great way to spend quality time with the family. and the movie sounds pretty good too. he always was our favorite transformer.
What a fabulous idea. I love the face masks and pictures you grab while having your party.
Such a wonderful, creative idea. Never tried to make any Christmas ornament so far but I think next year I will try it, as i have seen so many great ideas lately.
2 of my kiddos have birthdays around holidays including Christmas, so we haven’t don’t an ornament party, but we have done a cookie baking party. This looks like such a cute idea and so fun to do with kids.
