Christmas ornaments you've made yourself are some of the best loved ornaments to trim the Christmas tree. Every year that we put our ornaments with my kid's photos on the tree, I treasure those memories very much. It makes me remember the times when my kids were younger.
Let me share a few simple Christmas photo ornaments you can make. Even your preschool child could make the first one, so it is a great holiday craft idea for preschoolers.
Christmas Tree
Using a three inch tree template, cut 1/8 inch green spongeboard. Let your preschool child help you decorate the green tree ornament. Punch brightly colored dots from spongeboard. Your young child can blue these dots on to the tree as ornaments.
Next, cut 1/2 inch hole towards the bottom of the green tree. Tape your photo to the back so the picture shows through the hole. Add a red curling ribbon loop to the top of the tree.
Cheap and simple, these splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers are a must for any budget-conscious individual. Let your kids make one for each family member. For that personalized touch, let each child write his name and age on the back with a black felt pen.
Felt Bells
One of the best Christmas ornaments using photos is the one I got from my son's first year Mother's Day Out teacher. She cut blue felt and shaped it like a three inch tall bell. A smaller white felt bell was made including a hole in it to allow the photo to show through.
Make your picture show through the hole on the white bell. Then, glue the white bell with your child's pictue on top of the blue one. Now you have a wonderful blue border around the white bell.
Outline the edges of the white felt with glitter glue pen. Make a hole in the bell top and add a blue ribbon hanging loop.
You're almost done. Make another bell from blue posterboard. Add it to the back of the bell to stiffen this delicate holiday Christmas ornament. Attach a small jingle bell to the ornament's bottom. The teacher wrote my son's name and the year on the back.
Wow, now you have an easy and cool-looking holiday Christmas ornament using photos to beautify your tree this season. And as an added plus, you have a handmade and homemade ornament to remember your child.
