I always love to make handmade gifts to give for Christmas.  For the last 3 years I have been making homemade ornaments that are filled with goodies like Hot Cocoa Mix Ornaments, Dip Mix Ornaments, Gingerbread M&M Cookie Mix Ornaments  and Flavored Milk Mix Ornaments.  This year I had the idea for Homemade Extract Ornaments because I love making my own extracts and found these cute little bottles from Hobby Lobby I knew would be perfect to use!  Extracts are surprisingly easy to make with great results.  You can make so many fun extracts and the ones I included here are just a few of the many you can make.  I picked Vanilla, Lemon, Blackberry, Mint and Orange for my Homemade Extract Ornaments this year!

What fun flavored extracts can you think to make?  I have seen several nut varieties like almond that would be great too.  My fave of all the extracts though is vanilla because I use it for everything.  I recently made two kinds of Vanilla Extracts using Madagascar Vanilla Beans and Tahitian Vanilla Beans.  You can see my How to Make Vanilla Extract Post for the instructions!

If you do not have a Hobby Lobby which is where I found my jars then these jars from Amazon (affiliate link) look like they would be cute too.  They even have a flat side for a label if you want to add one!
