Handmade and homemade Christmas ornaments are some of my favorite ornaments to trim the Christmas tree. Each year that we hang our ornaments with my children's pictures, it brings back fond memories and I remember the times when my children were much younger.
Here are some simple Christmas photo ornaments you can design. Even your youngest kid could make the first one, so this ranks as an excellent holiday craft idea for preschoolers.
Christmas Tree
Using a three inch tree template, cut 1/8 inch green spongeboard. Let your preschool child help you decorate the green tree ornament. Punch brightly colored dots from spongeboard. Your young child can blue these dots on to the tree as ornaments.
Next, cut 1/2 inch hole towards the bottom of the green tree. Tape your photo to the back so the picture shows through the hole. Add a red curling ribbon loop to the top of the tree.
These holiday Christmas ornaments using photos are so cheap and simple, you can make one for each family member. To personalize, let each child sign his name and year on the back with a black sharpie.
Felt Bells
One of my favorite Christmas ornaments using photos is the one I received from my son's first year in Mother's Day Out. His teacher cut blue felt in the shape of a three inch tall bell. A smaller white bell was cut with a hole in the middle for the photo.
You can attach the photo to the white felt so the picture shows through the hole. Glue the white bell on top of the blue one so there is a blue border all around.
Outline the edges of the white felt with glitter glue pen. Make a hole in the bell top and add a blue ribbon hanging loop.
You're almost finished. Cut blue poster the same size and shape as the blue bell. Glue it to the back to stiffen the holiday Christmas ornament. Attach a small jingle bell to the bottom of the ornament. My son's teacher wrote his name and the year on the back.
Tada! These splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers add life to your Christmas tree this year. Now you can admire your child's handmade ornament.
