Holiday Photos

Happy Tuesday Everyone! On my blog this week, it's all about Christmas tree ornaments.

Today, we're turning this simple picture frame from blah to Tada!

Simply attach a sumptuous ribbon in your favorite color using hot glue and insert a favorite photo of your family, children, best friend or pet.

Tada! An ornament that's perfectly personal!
It makes for a unique gift or stocking stuffer, too!

    Love this idea! I also loved yesterdays post with the crystals! I have some plastic ones that came off a cheap chandelier, so I might use this one!
    Thank you for the idea, they have been lying around for ages, but I never throw anything out, and was wondering what to do with them!

    what a great idea! I usually slip the photos from cards in the tree branches, but this is a much more "finished" look that can appear year after year!

    I LOVE this idea. I inherited some very cute - but small - vintage sterling silver frames that I am converting into ornaments with photos this year. It's a great way or re-purposing older items that you either don't have room for or ones that don't "go" with your decor.

    Great inspiration! Keep it coming!

    Hello Courtney! Thanks for visiting :) Vintage sterling silver frames -- I'm envious! I love Christmas trees that have a little something old (ex. vintage ornaments) or tells of a family's history :) Happy decorating!
