Make Family Tree Ornaments

By , About.com Guide

Create a special set of family tree ornaments to hang on your Christmas tree.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Varies

Here's How:

  1. Create a circle template that is slightly smaller than your ornament. Test to make sure it fits inside the ornament well.
  2. Center your template on top of your first photo, making sure the part of the picture that you want to use is underneath it and nicely centered. Then, trace around your template with a pen, and cut along the line. Repeat with the rest of your photos.
  3. Stick one photo inside of each ornament, and you're ready to decorate your tree!

Tips:

  1. Write the name of each person on the photo (either on the front or the back), so others will be able to identify everyone.
  2. Make extra sets to give as gifts. These would be great as a Christmas gift or as a family reunion door prize.
  3. Need to have pictures made? Use these tips to save on a family portrait.

What You Need

  • Clear glass ornament balls
  • Photocopies or prints of all your family members
  • Scissors
