DIY Glass Photo Ornament

If you like making photo gifts, you can make the glass photo ornaments. The are the perfect keepsake or gift. Now let's start this tutorial.


Supplies:

* photo
* glass bulb
* a stick
* fishing line
* double sided tape
* ribbon
* white cardstock

Instructions:

1. Find a drinking glass that your ornament will sit into, use this as a template for your circle.

2. Cut two circles, one from your photo and the other from the cardstock. Add names, dates, or sentiments to the paper circle, with your printer or stamps.

3. Apply strips of double sided tape to the photo. Cut a long piece of fishing line and fold it in half. Stick the looped end along the centre of the photo.

4. Sandwich the fishing line between the two paper circles.

5. Gently roll the photo into a tube, and slide it into the ornament. Be sure there are no sharp points of glass that the photo will get scratched by.

6. Hold onto the fishing line and run the stick back and forth over the photo to flatten it out, be careful not to dent or scratch the picture.

7. You will find two small holes in the cover of the ornament, where the wire runs through the cap. Poke the ends of your fishing line through the holes (one in each side), slip the cap back onto the ornament, and tie off the fishing line. I like to knot the strings multiple times to ensure it will not come undone.

8. Complete your ornament with ribbon of choice, or simply add a hanger.

Done! You can give this personalized ornament someone else or have it yourself.
