Homemade Wood Scrap Photo Ornaments

by Holly Lefevre
After making my Rustic Wood Sign Ornaments the other day, I semi-sort of became obsessed with making Christmas ornaments. For this Wood Scrap Photo Ornament, I used some of the same principle as I did with the Rustic Wood Sign Ornaments, but I personalized them with my favorite photos of the kids. You can put pets, family member or your kids/grandkids on these versatile ornaments.
The holidays are my favorite time to craft and one of the crafts I enjoy the most is making ornaments. I make them with my kids. I make them with my parents when they come to visit...I love having a collection of memorable ornaments that tell a story.
Supplies:


*Wood blocks. I used a 1x4 and cut into 4" lengths (so you end up with 4 x 4 blocks)


*wood stain or paint (and brush)


*Photos


*Photo Paper and Color Printer


*Scissors/Paper trimmer


*Corner rounder (optional)


*Decoupage medium (Mod Podge) and brush


*Drill


*Twine (or ribbon)


*Optional: hot glue and embellishments
These are fun personal ornaments with so many possibilities!

    I've done this type of thing but never with photo paper, only regular printer paper. I love how the color on yours pops. Can you tell me if the pictures started to curl on the sides? Would love to try but hate to go through all the work for it to curl.
