How to Make Photo Frame Christmas Ornaments

Are you looking for a unique and personalized way to add some holiday cheer to your home? Look no further than these DIY photo frame Christmas ornaments! With just a few simple materials, you can create beautiful and easy-to-make decorations that will become a treasured family tradition.

To start, gather your materials: wooden ornament shapes, matte Mod Podge, black oil-based paint pen, 3.5'x5' photos printed on regular copy paper, and acrylic craft paint. You'll also need some wrapping paper for the frame, but we'll get to that later.

Begin by painting both sides of the wooden ornaments with white paint. This will provide a clean canvas for your design. Once the paint is dry, use a black oil-based paint pen to write out the names or messages you want to include on each ornament.

Next, print your photos in 3.5'x5' size and cut them slightly smaller than the circles you'll be tracing onto the ornaments. Be sure to center the photo the way you want it to appear on your finished ornament. Then, spread a thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the photo and use your fingers to firmly press it into place.

For the frame, wrap wrapping paper around the glass vase or other object you're using as a base. This will add some extra color and texture to your design. When you remove the paper, a pencil outline will remain on the ornament.

To finish your ornaments, spread another thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the photo and use a paintbrush to apply it evenly. Allow the Mod Podge to dry thoroughly before adding any additional embellishments or decorations.

These DIY photo frame Christmas ornaments make a thoughtful gift for friends and family, and they're also a great way to add some personalized touches to your holiday decor. With just a few simple steps and some basic materials, you can create beautiful and unique decorations that will be treasured for years to come.
