Make these gorgeous personalize ornaments for Christmas gifts! They are simply made from an ink jet printer, cardboard and bling. They couldn't be more easy and inexpensive to make. Not only that, people love it when you take the time to make an ornament of someone they love to place on their tree! I made these two ornaments of my Grandma (on the left) and my Mom (on the right.) They are both gone now, so I made them for this year's tree. Please click on the following YouTube link to see my full tutorial, as I give many tips when making the ornaments:
*Note: I used Mark Montano's method of gluing the photo copy to the cardboard. You can find Mark's wonderful videos at the following link:
