Laminated Portrait Ornament

Kids grow up so fast, so why not commemorate them year after year with an easy DIY photo ornament? They will love looking at them, and giggling at themselves, when they are all grown up.

To make: Cut two pieces of decorative craft paper to desired size. Cut a hole (it can be any shape) in one piece of the craft paper that is just smaller than the photo. Tape the photo over the opening. Tape the second piece of paper to the back with double-stick tape (this hides the messy back). Use sticker numbers or cut out numbers from craft paper and glue them to the paper below the picture. Run the ornament through a laminator; round edges. Punch a hole in the top; thread a ribbon through the hole to hang.
