Step 2: Cut Out the Frames
Using scissors or a craft knife, carefully cut along the edges of each ornament. The frames have an inner cutout for the photo area, cut that out as well.
Step 3: Prepare Your Photos
Choose the photos you’d like to feature. Make sure they’re roughly sized to fit inside the frames. Cut out the photo after tracing it with a pencil to make sure it’s the right shape.
Step 4: Attach the Photos to the Frames
Place your photo behind the frame so that it shows through the cutout. Use glue or tape to secure the photo to the frame. Make sure it’s centred and positioned just right!
Step 5: Add a Ribbon or Twine
Use a hole punch at the top of each ornament, then thread a piece of ribbon or twine through the hole. Tie a loop so it’s ready to hang.

Your ornaments are ready to hang! Place them on your tree or around your home to add a touch of warmth and sentiment to your holiday decor.
