Ornament Station
A staffed keepsake station where guests hand-paint their own holiday ornament right at the party. Guests choose their own colors and patterns, and walk away with something worth hanging year after year.
What It Is
The ornament station is a staffed keepsake craft where guests decorate their own blank ornament with markers while it turns slowly on a tabletop decorating stand, building a smooth, striped design without needing steady hand control. A trained attendant sets up each guest and keeps the line moving.
Guests choose their own color combination from the markers available at the station and apply them freehand as the ornament rotates, building layered stripes and patterns in real time. Because the spin does the blending work, first-time guests and younger kids get a polished, finished-looking ornament without any drawing experience.
It is a quiet, low-mess craft that works well as a steady activation guests can drop into throughout a cocktail hour or open house, and the finished ornament makes a keepsake guests hang on their own tree for years after the event.
Where It Works
The ornament station is built for winter and holiday-season celebrations, though its quiet, hands-on format works well at any event looking for a low-key craft moment.
How Long It Runs
The ornament station typically runs for up to 4 hours, staffed by an attendant for the full activation window. It works well as a steady drop-in craft guests can visit throughout a cocktail hour or open house.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about booking an ornament station for your event.
Do guests need any drawing experience?
No. The ornament spins slowly on the decorating stand while guests apply color, so the motion does the blending work and even first-time guests end up with a clean, finished-looking pattern.
Is the ornament station a good fit for a corporate holiday party?
Yes. It is a popular activation for corporate holiday parties, giving guests a relaxed, hands-on keepsake that fits the season without requiring any artistic skill.
Is the station messy?
The station uses markers rather than wet paint, so it stays contained and tidy. The attendant manages the process closely with each guest.
Can guests choose their own colors?
Yes. Guests pick their own color combination from the markers available at the station to build a pattern that is entirely their own.
How much space does the ornament station need?
The station needs a footprint for the decorating stand plus a queue area in front. We confirm exact dimensions during planning and coordinate placement with your venue.
