First, open up a laminating sheet and trace the printable template circles onto it. You can fit about four per sheet, so get tracing! Next, paint one side of the circle near the bottom with white acrylic paint to create a snowy effect. Have the kiddos join in on the fun by adding white dots of paint around where the picture will be. Their fingerprints will add an extra-special touch!
Add Some Sparkle and Shine! Lightly sprinkle some glitter around the image to give it a magical sparkle. Once the paint is completely dry, cut out the image of the child (get close to the edges to avoid any background). Position the image in the middle of the painted circle and secure it with double-sided tape. Be sure to stay away from the edges so the laminating sheets will stick!
Laminate the circle, punch a hole in the top for some twine, and cut out a base from laminated card stock using the printable template. Glue or tape the base near the bottom of the laminated circle, and voilà! Write the child’s name and the year with a Sharpie, and you’ve got a beautiful, one-of-a-kind ornament to give as a gift or hang on the Christmas tree! Pro Tip: For an extra-durable ornament, try laminating only two per page with the card stock paper base underneath. Happy crafting!
