Holiday Craft: Easy homemade photo ornament

I think Pinterest is fantastic, but I am not very artistic. Each time I try something, it is a disaster.

I really do think it is wonderful to be creative with your children and expose them to arts and crafts. But it is definitely not my strength and the thought of glitter in my house almost sends me into a panic attack.

But, after a few days off at Thanksgiving, I decided to give crafts a try and I was successful! We made small ornaments for the grandparents. I think I am going to put them on their presents as tags. They were SO easy to make and virtually impossible to ruin. Overall it took about 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish.

Paint the ornament using the acrylic paint on one side and let it dry.

Use a sponge brush to paint a thin layer of the ModPodge on the ornament where the picture will be located.

Put the picture on the ornament and paint another thin layer of ModPodge. The picture will appear to have a “film” on it, but that will dry.

Let the ornament dry and you are done!
