Materials

  • White cardstock or foam sheet (8.5×11 inches)
  • Small printed photo (2×2 inches)
  • Markers or acrylic paint in red, yellow, green, and blue
  • Thin black marker or pen
  • Gold or silver ribbon (6-inch bow + 8-inch hanger loop)
  • Scissors and glue stick
  • Hole punch

Instructions

  • Cut a large ornament shape (about 5 inches in diameter) from white cardstock. Then draw and cut out a smaller inner circle to frame your photo.
  • Sketch curly light string lines around the ornament using a black marker.
  • Paint or draw colorful bulbs along the string, alternate colors to make it lively. Let it dry fully.
  • Glue your child’s photo behind the inner circle opening so their face shows through.
  • Punch a small hole at the top, thread a ribbon through for hanging, and tie a decorative bow just below the loop.
  • Add glitter glue accents or mini sequins if you’d like extra sparkle.
