Photo Christmas Ornament Craft Supplies:
- clear plastic ornaments
- family photos
- ornament fillers (pom pom balls, tinsel, stickers etc)

Step-By-Step Instructions For Personalized Photo Christmas Ornaments:
Here’s how to make photo Christmas ornaments. Grab your holiday photo ornaments supplies and head to the table. Spread out the ornament fillers and give each child their own plastic ornament. Pop the top off and let the kids start filling their ornament with whatever they would like! We had some extra photos printed so we grabbed those. My kids loved stuffing in the sparkly pom pom balls and some tinsel that we had. They also each made an ornament with their photo inside and hung it on their trees!
Here’s how we got the photo inside the ornament:
Grab a picture out cut a circle out around your child’s face. I just eyed the size but you could definitely trace the ornament size around your picture if you need to. Next, gently roll your picture up so it will fit through the top of your ornament. Slide it through and it will open up when it’s inside your ornament! If you need to move it around, grab tweezers and position the picture how you would like it.
You could even help your child make an ornament with their picture inside for relatives…grandparents would LOVE these! Tie a bow on top of the ornament for an extra special touch if you choose to make it a gift.
