So I’ve had the intention of creating some cheesy handmade ornaments for a while now. I remember how excited I would get as a little kid when it was time to unpack all my favorite sentimental ornaments and hang them on the tree. My favorites were the ones that were my Mom’s when she was little and the ones that I crafted at school. I want to foster the same excitement with my boys, so I thought of the idea to create “Milestone Ornaments”–ornaments that are handmade every year with their school picture, the year and a list on the back of all their favorite things from that year. That way, as the years pass and we unpack our growing collection of ornaments we can all giggle over the cute pictures and funny nostalgic hashtags. Also, as the kiddos get older, they’ll be able to make their own photo ornaments which will add a whole new level of nostalgia–and we LOVE nostalgia.
I would also like to point out that Wesley’s school photo cracks me up. It so perfectly captures his personality at this age. He wants so badly to smile in this photo, but I can see him holding it in with every ounce of face muscle he has. Stubborn little dude.
Here’s how I made the ornaments.
Sawyer obviously doesn’t have a school photo yet, so we improvised.
I applied a thin layer of mod podge to the heart and placed the photo on top. Then I smoothed out and bubbles or wrinkles.
Once the mod podge was dry, I distressed the edges with “fine” sandpaper.
Then I painted the circle pieces that will later attach to the back of the heart.
I used hot glue to secure a loop of twine on the circle ornament–then I glued the heart on top of the circle.
And distressed the circle as well.
And I used a paint pen to write their favorite things of 2013 as hashtags. I accidentally took this photo before I write the year 2013 on them, oops.

really adorable ornaments. and the first thing I thought when I saw Wes’ picture was handsome, of course, but that twinkle in his eyes that said, oh you want me to smile well guess who is in control of that one. Love it !!!
You are doing such a precious thing by doing this. that first Christmas away from home and having a box of memorable ornaments to put on a tree to compliment and begin their own traditions is worth so much.

I love traditional collages and school picture ornaments! And when it’s a handmade school theme, it’s still more precious than ever. When kids grow up, their tastes are different, they choose a profession and the innocence of the childhood is gone, a person looks like an adult, with a firm career stage, principles, habits. And here’s why it’s important to make such school pictures, while they are still small.

Great collection of handmade Christmas tree ornaments! I was looking for ideas on new decorations and think all of these would look great as part of the holiday decorations. I really liked the Christmas tree-shaped ornaments made from zippers and the Christmas wish list ornament. Thanks for the inspiration!

I was skeptical not far from CBD at first, but after trying them like [url=https://joyorganics.com/pages/wholesale-cbd ]wholesale cbd products[/url], I’m exceptionally impressed. They submit a suitable and enjoyable sense to take CBD without any hassle. I’ve noticed a calming intention, primarily in the evenings, which has helped with both stress and sleep. The beat generally is the pre-measured dosage, so there’s no guessing involved. If you’re looking as a replacement for an straightforward and ambrosial detail to experience CBD, gummies are unquestionably worth considering—nothing but make sure to pay off from a well-thought-of name brand!
