So, let's do something special this year, and make some uber-cheap, child skill-level perfect presents. This actually means easy enough for us; because, let's face it, these kids can figure anything out.
Get some 'spare' pics, or print some special. Buy a pack of cookie cutters at your local dollar store. Trace around the pics, then cut inside that trace about an eight to a quarter of an inch inside. This will eliminate the line you drew and make up for the 'wall' of the frame. Once trimmed, place inside and press the picture against the front of the cutter. gently work the picture up against the wall anywhere it might still be a little too large.
Using a high heat glue gun- parents do this part- trace the edges to seal in the picture. Poke a hole in the top and run twine, string, or ribbon to hang from your tree. You can even plan on using ones that are self standing to decorate your desk at work! Add flowers, glitter, tiny pine cones, whatever makes it especially perfect for your recipient.
If using older ornaments, you can spray a nice sanitary layer with spray paint, we're not eating off of these, but we could also hope not to get tetanus. Have fun and add as much fru-fru as you and your kiddos like, Grandma loves glitter!
