This do-it-yourself project is inexpensive, requires only a few basic materials, and is easy enough for the beginner crafter. Just use your leftover school, holiday, or Santa photo prints to create a keepsake ornament!
Get creative with your ornament shape, color combinations, and decorations to make it your own… and whatever you do, don’t forget to make a few extra for Grandma and Grandpa this holiday season!
