Handmade and homemade Christmas ornaments are some of my favorite ornaments to trim the Christmas tree. Each year that we hang our ornaments with my children's pictures, it brings back fond memories and I remember the times when my children were much younger.
I'll teach you how to make these splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers. Even your small preschooler could make one. It'll make a great holiday craft your preschoolers can make for grandparents. 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. These holiday Christmas ornaments using photos are so cheap and simple, you can make one for each family member. To personalize, let each child sign his name and year on the back with a black sharpie. 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. 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. You can mark the edges of the white felt with glitter glue pen. Make an opening in the bell top and thread blue ribbon to make a 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. Voila, you now have the coolest and easiest holiday Christmas ornament using photos to trim your tree this year. Plus you have a handmade and homemade ornament to remember your child for years.
