framed ornaments are my fave

The tree is not the only home for ornaments. Frame the festive up.

To make your own you’ll need:
- mini or flat clear ornaments (available at Hobby Lobby)
- acrylic paints
- shadowbox frame (this one is from IKEA)
- adhesive

Take topper off ornament and pour in a generous amount of paint. Swirl it around until it covers all sides. Set upside down on a paper plate and let dry overnight. Arrange in frame and adhere with tape or glue. Put on display then eat a Christmas cookie.

Take a peek at a few more painted ornaments I made over at Say Yes to Hoboken.

    This is a great idea. I have some ornaments I made when I was little (a looong time ago) and they are getting way too fragile to hang. Framing them would be a lovely display, but also keep them safe!

    So cute! This would be a nice way to keep the glass ornaments which I love, but inevitably end up breaking, safe and sound!

    Oh man! I love this. Adding it to my next-year list, which by the way, is growing larger and larger.

    LOVE the colors- and I love the garland as well! And those white houses are so pretty.

    Those look so stinking cute. I like yours better. The box that had all of the ornaments was really cluttery, but yours looks really simple and clean. I love it!
