Christmas ornaments you've made yourself are some of the best loved ornaments to trim the Christmas tree. Every year that we put our ornaments with my kid's photos on the tree, I treasure those memories very much. It makes me remember the times when my kids were younger.
I'll teach you how to make these splendid holiday craft ideas for preschoolers. Even your small preschooler could make one. It'll make a great holiday craft your preschoolers can make for grandparents.
Christmas Tree
With a 3 inch paper tree outline, cut a 1/8 inch green tree from spongeboard. Your child can now participate in decorating here. Use a hole punch to get many, brightly colored dots from spongeboard. These dots can then be glued by your youngster to the tree as ornaments.
Next, cut a single 1/2 inch hole towards the bottom of the green tree. Glue your photo to the back so the picture shows through. Thread a curled ribbon loop at the treetop.
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 the best Christmas ornaments using photos is the one I got from my son's first year Mother's Day Out teacher. She cut blue felt and shaped it like a three inch tall bell. A smaller white felt bell was made including a hole in it to allow the photo to show through.
Make your picture show through the hole on the white bell. Then, glue the white bell with your child's pictue on top of the blue one. Now you have a wonderful blue border around the white bell.
Decorate the edges of the white felt with glitter glue pen. Make an opening in the bell top and thread blue ribbon to make a loop.
You're almost done. Make another bell from blue posterboard. Add it to the back of the bell to stiffen this delicate holiday Christmas ornament. Attach a small jingle bell to the ornament's bottom. The teacher wrote my son's 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. - 15266
