'Home for the Holidays' Photo Christmas Ornament

Going home for the holidays is as easy as making this charming and sweetly sentimental ornament with a photo of your very own childhood home inside! Make them for family and friends who enjoy remembering the good old days of home sweet home!
I made this one for our kiddos as a keepsake. One day, when they are all grown, they will be able to share this snowy ornament with their families.
Using imitation snow, a plastic craft ornament, a photo copied image of our home and a little glitter...in no time I was able to create a treasured memory.
Cover one side- which will become the back of the ornament with a coating of glue and craft paint.
Sprinkle with glitter and let dry.
Cut out a photo copied image of your home to the size of the ornament. I used a pencil to outline the shape.
Once the image is cut, gently roll the paper and slide it into the ornament.
The eraser side of a pencil can help to smooth out the image.
Add a small amount of imitation snow...
This is my childhood home...I made one for myself too!
Add a ribbon and your snowy....sentimental walk down memory lane is complete! For more details on this project, including where I sourced my supplies, please visit: http://blueribbonkitchen.blogspot.com/2015/12/home-for-holidays-christmas-ornament.html

I did something similar a couple years ago with one of my daughters wedding photos. I cut them out leaving them ever so slightly taller than the ornament so they would stay in place. I then printed off a pic of some trees and cut those out a little smaller so they looked 3D
Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Why do you need glue and paint? Adorable and what a great memory!
I am surmising that static inside the bulb keeps picture in place??
Would metallic glitter paint work just as well for the back of the ornament without the actual glitter? Or do you think I could put the glitter on the inside just on the back piece?
