Photo Christmas Ornament

Photo Christmas Ornament - Information

A photo Christmas ornament is a creative and easy way to add a personal touch to your Christmas tree. Glass blown ornaments are nice, and some of the pewter miniatures on sale nowadays are quite beautiful, but for me the most important thing in Christmas decorations is to express yourself. Photo Christmas ornaments do just that. They help you honor the things that matter you to most: your friends and family. In addition, they can make a fun and fascinating craft activity for the whole family.

The first photo Christmas ornament I ever had, of course, was store-bought. It was a gorgeous pewter photo frame hanging from a dainty little hook. I put a picture my girlfriend  in it, and really enjoyed the way it looked on the Christmas tree. It was a present from her, after all, and I wanted to always use it to express my love for her.

Because it was Christmas vacation I had a lot of time. I decided that it might be nice to make my own Christmas decorations. I set off to make a photoChristmasornament of my own. I'm a pretty decent wood carver, and I was able to make a wooden frame over the next day or so. When I was done, it looked spectacular. I put a picture of myself in it and gave it to my girlfriend.
