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
You can start by using a three-inch tree outline to cut from 1/8 inch green spongeboard. Let your preschool child participate in decorating the tree. Dots from many colors of spongeboard can be easily punched out. Your young child can glue these brightly colored cirles on to the tree as ornaments.
After that, cut a 1/2 inch hole at the bottom of the green tree. Place the photo to the back using sticky tape so the picture shows through the opening. Then add a red ribbon loop at the tree's top.
These holiday Christmas ornaments using photos are so affordable and easy to make, you can design one for each family member. To add a personal touch, have each child write his name and year on the back with a black felt pens.
Felt Bells
My son's first Mother's Day Out teacher gave me one of my favorite Christmas ornaments using photos. His teacher cut blue felt in the shape of a three inch tall bell. A smaller white bell was also cut. She placed a hole in the middle for the photo.
You can attach the photo to the white felt so the picture shows through the hole. Glue the white bell on top of the blue one so there is a blue border all around.
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 finished. Cut blue poster the same size and shape as the blue bell. Glue it to the back to stiffen the holiday Christmas ornament. Attach a small jingle bell to the bottom of the ornament. My son's teacher wrote his name and the year on the back.
Tada! These splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers add life to your Christmas tree this year. Now you can admire your child's handmade ornament. - 15359
