Materials

  • Clear plastic or glass fillable ornaments (3-inch diameter)
  • Printed black-and-white photos (2×3 inches, trimmed to fit)
  • Red shredded paper or tinsel (1 cup per ornament)
  • Scissors and tweezers
  • Pencil for curling photo edges slightly
  • Red satin ribbon (10-inch piece per ornament)
  • Small funnel or rolled paper cone for filling

Instructions

  • Print and cut your photos to fit the size of your ornament. Roll them gently around a pencil to curve slightly without creasing.
  • Open the ornament and insert the red shredded paper using a funnel or by hand. Add just enough to create a festive background without crowding the photo.
  • Carefully slide the curled photo inside, using tweezers to position it facing outward. Adjust until it’s centered.
  • Secure the top back on the ornament and tie a red satin ribbon around the neck. Create a bow or loop for hanging.
  • Finally, add optional tags with the child’s name or year for a personalized finish.
