If there’s anything I love it’s vintage and antique inspired keepsakes! The whimsy, the nostalgia, the yesteryear feelings of simpler times. Since my parents love the same things, it was only natural to come up with a Christmas craft we could give them with those elements! The idea came at a local antique mall when I spied some vintage ribbon and buttons. Wheels began spinning, and the idea was formed! Just a few supplies later we were ready to create, and I am so pleased with the way they turned out, I may need to make more to keep for myself!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Your favorite photos (printed to card stock, unless you want to cut your actual photographs)
Glue
Hole Puncher (we used 2 sizes)
Vintage Embellishments (buttons, ribbons, etc.)
Silver Pipe Cleaners
Glitter
SUPER SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
Cut your photos into the ornament shapes you prefer
Hole Punch an area to hang a ribbon, etc. in
Decorate as desired! The more whimsical, the better!
My kids had so much fun doing this, especially remembering the times associated with the photos. I can’t wait to see the looks on my parents faces when they open these. MERRY CHRISTMAS!
