I was looking for some easy ornament gifts for family members to show off Connor's holiday photos. When I was at Joanns, I noticed these felt snowflakes and rhinestone stickers for $1 each.
To turn the snowflake into a frame opening, I cut out the middle section. The left snowflake shows how they looked when I bought them and the right snowflake shows how I cut out the middle.
Then I used the little rhinestones to accessorize the snowflake because...well, why not?
To make a backing for the frame, I used some white glitter felt and traced around the snowflake shape.
To make a backing for the frame, I used some white glitter felt and traced around the snowflake shape.
Then I traced around the snowflake again so I would have the right size photo for the opening.
And then I glued the photo onto the back of the snowflake and let it dry. I had to glue the corners again just to keep the edges down.
Because I'm a crafty hoarder, I save old holiday cards. I found a glitter snowflake one and cut out a little piece to use as a label on the back of the frame.
We don't have a tree up this year (sad face), so I don't have any fun photos of it on a tree branch. But I'm sure it will look nice on the trees of the family members that get one!
I love your photo ornament. I have a weekly linky Anything goes mon-fri, and an ongoing Winter linky I would love to have you join. The Winter linky is on the right side bar with a picture link. Hope you will come strut your stuff. Happy holidays.
