Holiday Picture Frame Ornament

This is a SUPER cute way to display holiday pictures!  Makes the PERFECT Grandparents gift too!  You can either hang them on your tree or make several and display them as a collage on your wall.

Supplies needed:

Candle ring (I used a 4.25" candle ring, measuring the inside of the ring frame)

Photo of your choice

scissors

chip board (for circle template, I find this easier to use than try to trace the candle ring directly onto the photo)

Glue gun

ribbon

First I pick out the candle ring I want to use, keeping in mind the size of picture that needs to fill the opening

Then I turn the Candle Ring over and measure its opening, this will tell me what size picture I need

My candle ring was 4.25" in diameter.  I chose my photo(s) and sized them to 4.25" square then printed on plain paper to test the size before printing on my photo paper.

Too much of the white edge was showing on the inside so I increased the size to 4.4"  I then printed the photo(s) on photo paper and made a template out of chipboard to the size of the candle ring and then used the template to cut our the photo(s).  Take care to center the template on the photo or you will get a white edge on one side or more.  You should really only be cutting off the 4 corners.

It is ok to have a little bit of white edge as this will be covered by the base of the candle ring.

Once you have the pictures cut out you can now glue them to the base of the candle ring.  Leave a space at the very top to tie your ribbon on the base for hanging. I used hot glue but you can use any other means of attachment that works for you.

*** Please note attach your ribbon before glueing if you are going to glue around the whole ring!

Finally, tie a ribbon onto the base to hang your new picture ornament!
