Personalized Christmas Ornaments





I love to have personal touches in my Christmas decor, so I decided it would be fun to have each member of our family's name on the tree! I was so excited to start this project and my kids just loved the idea of having their own special ornament on the tree. 



Here's how I made them:

I used 2 frames that I already had and got 3 more from the dollar store. I used 4x6 frames cause I did not want them to be too heavy for the tree. 




I spray painted the frames white and roughed them up a little with sand paper. I chose white for the frames cause I wanted it to pop against the tree but you could use any color.





I used the stencils that I had gotten from the Martha Stewart campaign. I think you could achieve the same effect with vinyl or paper and mod pod.  I baked the glass in the oven for 30 min at 350 degrees to set the paint. Then I used a hot glue gun to secure the glass to the frame.




 I then cut strips of ribbon and hot glue gunned it to the back of the frames. Finally we placed them on the tree!





These were so easy to make and I love how they turned out! They just add so much to our tree!


Merry Christmas!

  8. Thanks f0r the idea of cardboard storage boxes. They're really useful in terms of packing the small towels and other pants. The Custom Ornament storage boxes are also used for these purposes. But they're more fancy as compared to the ordinary cardboard boxes. These ornament storage boxes are mostly used to pack the Christmas ornaments but you can also used them to pack other things.
