Yes, another Do It Yourself project idea! This one ...or two or three...only take about 20 minutes to create! I went to a cookie swap on Monday and we made a Christmas wreath using ornaments and a wire hanger. Stretch out the wire hanger, string on your ornaments, tie together at the ends and ...TAADAAA!!! (I added a ribbon to top it off)
I didn't have an extra wreath hanger, so instead, I am using it as a center piece. I put it in the middle of our table around a glass vase that holds even more ornaments!
I had a few extra ornaments left over. I have been looking for a gaudy Christmas picture frame to hold the Big C and Baby C's picture from last Christmas. My goal is to take a picture of them every year in their Christmas PJ's under the tree. I'm going to put them in Christmas picture frames and use them as decorations for the Christmas season. I thought this was a wonderful way see how they grow each year. Last year was Baby C's first Christmas...it is hard to believe! With my extra ornaments, I hot glued them to the picture and voila! Gaudy picture frame it is!
I love DIY projects!
Love the new projects. I have been using past Christmas pictures as decorations too. I typically get a frame in the sale days after Christmas, put in a picture from that year, and then put it away when the decorations come down. It has been a lot of fun watching the collection grow!
