From a young age, I have always been crafting things with my hands. My fascination with snowflakes began when my parents helped me make snowflake patterns out of old printer paper. I love to decorate with them each winter! Make some yourself, from the patterns on my projects page or make your own designs and submit the best for my contest!

My old paper snowflakes are used as the designs for my wooden ornaments! I simply love snowflakes, with their beautiful geometric shapes. Not one is alike - which is why I choose to make my ornaments out of high-quality hardwoods. That way, each ornament is unique and has its own charm!

Marie Ruth comes from my middle name combined with my Grandma's name! I added Ruth as a second, unofficial middle name when I was in 8th grade. I love my family and our holiday traditions - the Christmas tree, the snowmen, and the giving of gifts and joy! I hope you add my ornaments and the spirit of creativity, love, and uniqueness to your holiday tradition.

Marie Ruth is a Sole Proprietorship - meaning that I run everything from the website to designing and manufacturing next year's ornaments. It is important for me to keep this business small and personal, because these designs are special to me, and I want them to be special to you. Check my about page for the story of how my business began and the ideas behind it!

I hold each and every snowflake ornament before releasing them to the world. Thankfully, they won't melt like normal snowflakes, and they will last a lifetime. When possible, I source all of my materials from the USA and make everything myself. Handmade gifts are something to cherish!
