I need new ideas!--please post your homemade Christmas ornaments

These are horribly difficult to properly photograph, but I figured, since I haven't seen anyone else post them, I would give it a shot (I've never posted anything before, other than swaps).



Extremely easy to make, just buy the clear glass ornaments, print a picture out on transparency paper, cut it to fit the ornament, curl it up and slide it in.  I once read somewhere that they recommend glitter, but as you can see from the ornament in the rear, it's not the best idea - too much static makes it cling to everything and it's hard to make out the photo, otherwise the other 2 photos are very vivid IRL.

There's this awesome website full of copyright-free images, they're all vintage and just beautiful. I'm going to print out some deer, squirrels and hedgehogs on cardstock and set up a little winter tableau thingie...http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/44700/44736/44736_deer.htm

Those look great! What a cool idea. Thanks for sharing!

I wonder if you could use vellum scrapbook paper. That's about the same thing right? I know you can print words but I wonder if pictures show up?

Great idea on thin paper because I made one for a friend like that but with glossy printer paper and let's just say it was a pain trying to get it in the hole 

I love all of the ideas so far btw

You can usually find transparency paper at most office supplies stores.

Vellum works just fine in printing out photos.

here is one I just made .
I wrapped twine around a ballon and used mod podge glue to stiffen it.  then  cut the hole.  I used a nativity scene from the dollar tree and repurposed it. hind sight I should have added some lights.  I also got the ribbon from the dollar tree.

anyway  whatcha think
