Mod podged sentimental ornaments

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Dec 7, 2010 · Modified: Dec 13, 2012

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

 

And I just love this pic of my Mom and I. What a fun, cheap and easy project. I will have for a life time!
Thanks for all the hosts that I will be joining this week. I do have to go finish my Christmas cards and shopping.

    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!
