: I once made ornaments out of lids of small jars-you can wrap them in wrapping paper, or spraypaint them-take developed pictures of kids and place in middle-hot glue ribbon on to hang on the tree (can also put magnet on back and use for fridge magnet after the season)
: I have also seen poster board cut out in ball-like shapes and the picture placed in the centre-with ribbon, or string to hang on the tree.
: Another idea I did was using craft sticks-glue together to make a frame-place picture inside on piece of cardboard-can use decals to decorate outside of sticks-can be placed on boughs of the tree or on a mantel.

: : I have been trying to find so ideas for making christmas ornaments with pictures of the kids in them. Any ideas?
~~;one more Idea...scan or photocopy a picture onto tissue paper that has been reinforced with a heavier piece of paper taped to it. Cut around the picture carefully. Then lay it on the side of a smooth candle, probably works best with white or off white, and using a heat gun or other heat source gently heat the picture to the candle. The wax will melt through finishing the picture nicely. you can add trim around it if you want. Not an ornament but a picture gift!!!!!
