Here is what you will need:Fillable Glass Ornaments - I found mine at Michaels for HALF off!!1-2 Sheets of Scrapbook Paper - Also found at Michaels at .29 cents each
Turn your scrapbook paper over with the pattern side facing down. Trace around the ornament, making the circle slightly smaller than the actual circumference. I had to do this a few times and test it out in the ornament to make sure it was a good fit. You might want to try this out with scrap paper so you don't ruin your nice paper. After I got the measurement correct, I used it as a template for the rest.
Cut out your circle, roll it up and insert into your ornament.
Use a a pen or pencil to push the paper forward. Be very delicate! You don't want to bend the paper or push it too far forward. You want to push it just enough for it to stay in place.
I think the look of these scrap book ornaments are so classic! They were a little bit of a pain, and took longer than anticipated to make, but I still really love them. They don't look as pretty from the side, since its just a flat piece of paper, but I figure that won't really matter since they are going to be nestled in my fluffy Christmas tree:)

I did this with wedding photos after my son got married. I finished them with ribbons that matched the wedding colors, and made an additional one using the invitation.

What if you put 2 together - glue or whatever- with right sides facing out? Then there would be a good side on both sides! Just a thought
