“A Christmas Carol” Ornaments Options
I love to create things that can be used in multiple ways. Not only do these lovely ornaments have character graphics representing those beloved characters in the story, but they also include cherished quotes.
Each ornament can be crafted in two ways:
Single-Sided: Choose either a character illustration or a matching quote to display on one side.
Double-Sided: Place a character image on one side and a corresponding quote on the other for a more layered look.
This craft is ideal for families, Dickens enthusiasts, and anyone looking to add a literary touch to their holiday decor.
How to Make and Personalize These Ornaments
Creating these A Christmas Carol ornaments is simple and requires only a few materials. Here’s how to make them, with ideas to add a personal touch!
Materials Needed:
- Printable ornament templates (available for download)
- Cardstock or heavy paper for durability
- Scissors
- Glue or double-sided tape
- Hole punch and ribbon or twine for hanging
- Optional: glitter, markers, or decorative edges for extra flair
Instructions:
- Print the Templates: Start by printing the ornaments on cardstock. This will give them a sturdier feel and make them last through the holiday season.
- Cut Out the Ornaments: Carefully cut around each ornament design, choosing either the quote side or the character illustration if you prefer single-sided.
- Make Them Double-Sided: To create double-sided ornaments, place glue or double-sided tape on the back of one piece, align a second cutout with a matching image or quote, and press together.
- Punch a Hole: Use a hole punch near the top of each ornament and thread ribbon or twine through the hole for hanging.
- Personalize Your Ornaments: Add glitter to the edges, use markers to add a colorful border, or apply decorative paper behind the ornaments to add texture. You can also write a personal message or date on the back to commemorate this year’s Christmas.
These simple steps will bring a touch of classic Dickensian charm to your tree and make each ornament unique!

Today, Dickens’ story still resonates, inspiring traditions and reflections on the true meaning of Christmas.
“A Christmas Carol” Quotes Included
The whole book is so full of rich and memorable vocabulary and character building quotes it was truly hard to choose just one for each. But here are a few of my very favorites I included:
“I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.” – Ebenezer Scrooge
“God bless us, every one!” – Tiny Tim
“Spirit! … I will not be the man I must have been … Assure me that I yet may change these shadows …” – Scrooge to the Spirit of Christmas Future
“You fear the world too much. All your other hopes have merged into the hope of being beyond the reach of suffering.” – Belle (Scrooge’s ex-fiance)
