Homemade Christmas Ornaments: DIY crafty Tuesdays

12/8/2014

I love pictures and I think that for grandparents and family they can make great gifts.  I also love companies like Shutterfly and Snapfish but what they charge for photo gifts can often be a bit pricey.  I wanted to come up with some inexpensive cute ways to make photo gifts.  Here is one that I really liked, photo ornaments. 

 I picked up the round, flat disk shape at Hobby Lobby in their Christmas crafting section, it was $1.99 with a 40% off coupon making it $1.19.  I already had the spray adhesive and the photo I wanted to use cost me .10 to print a 4 x 6 photo, so this project set me back $1.29. 

 Comparable ornaments from companies can cost between $10-$20 each so I think I did pretty good!

The spray adhesive works far superior to any glue I have found and isn't that hard to work with.  It was $6.99 (with 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby of course) when I purchased it about 4 months ago for a different project.  The key is to cover your workspace because the sticky overspray is a bit much.  If you get it on your fingers or countertop lemon oil or lemon juice helps it come right off.  

I took the ornament, laid it over the back of my photo.  I traced the circle onto the back of the photo, cut it out and sprayed the adhesive onto the back of the photo.  I then smoothed the photo directly onto the ornament base and viola!!!
