Photo Ornament
December 12th, 2010 @ 11:08 pmI saw a blog post last week on handmade Christmas gifts. I ran across a photo ornament that I liked. My family just had their photos taken professionally when we were in IL visiting and each of the grand kids had a photo taken by themselves. Bingo! I’ll use those photos to make four ornaments for my parents to hang on their Christmas tree. Perfect!
It was so simple to make, although I’m not completely happy with the end result. The opening into the ornament is very narrow so I had to roll up the photo to stick it inside and now they won’t fully flatten. It’s not the end of the world, but it’s not near as nice as the one shown in the tutorial. I should have looked harder for the clear plastic ornaments. I bought the medium sized glass ornaments (that’ll teach me). 
So, here are pictures of my finished product. Enjoy!
I’m working on a few more smaller projects before diving into the onesie quilt. I’ll keep you posted.

I love these and have added them to a Christmas wreath. Very cool!

I didn’t know you made those!! They are so cool, I’m jealous, but at least there is one of me

Just wait until next year. We (your Mom and I) have another idea for ornaments for Grandma (all of the grandkids will be making one…even Brody).

I thought they were great! Don’t be so hard on yourself, but then again, that is the mark of a true ARTIST!

Ah, I think you just called me a “true artist”.
