Today I am sharing sentimental ornaments mod podge, and the Dollar tree items.
Had some recent fabulous family photos, that I thought I would make into some ornaments for the tree. Here is the short self explanatory tutorial, and the end result. I just love seeing my family on the tree. I still have some more to make.
I bought some holiday cards from the Dollar tree (2 for a dollar) then I scanned my photos on my scanner at home
|
Modge podge, I have not used this in a while
|
Cut the card with my craft scissors, and modged podged the picture on the card.
|
Cut some nice words from the card itself and embellished my ornament
|
And there you have it on the tree. I love it! And look, there is a CLOTHES pin to attach it to the tree! I kept mine original, I could have made in glitter but there is enough bling going on.

This one I made look a bit old and worn

Nice to see the Podge in play. What a fun idea. I had missed the Podge while you were away on "mental break". I knew the Podge would get the best of you.
Podge on,
Hey…what about Podging the whole tree… now there's a Podging idea…
I think I need to wake up more from my wee-little nap before commenting anymore.

Oh you broke out the good ole Mod Podge! Mine has been slowly fermenting in a cupboard. I think I burned myself out for a while there but you've inspired me to go and rescue it!! Your decorations are awesome!
