Location: At home | i have 3 "new" Grandson...my son is marrying a beautiful woman with three sons...Themos is 21 yrs, Stepheno is 13 yrs, and Phillip is 10 yrs. They were born/lived in Greece for 18 yrs. Well, when they came back, the middle son....Stepheno.....had trouble adjusting the move/divorce/life in general. He was in a juvenile hall for a coupla years (not sure what it's called) to help him. Steph came home last Sept., and is doing his best.....having trouble yet, but trying. We were putting up their tree, when i realized that Phillip (the youngest) had several homemade ornaments, but Stepheno has none. Do you have any ideas of what we could do, kind of as a surprise for his Mom and family? i am not crafty but want to help him. He and i have talked about it, and he wants to do something with Brutus (the bulldog) pictures too. Help?? Thanks guys.......yer the greatest! (And, yes, i am one happy Grandma!! Phillip calls me "Grandma 'Punk'")  |

Location: MI | Could make these block ornaments? I would probably try to come up with a template, then digitally place pictures onto where they would need to be to fold them into blocks...then you'd get 4-5 pictures on a block? It would be cheap, ribbon, printed paper, etc. I found an example here: http://thecraftingchicks.com/2009/12/homemade-block-ornaments.html |

Location: Southwest Minnesota | I saw really cute ornaments on pinterest that they used metal cookie cutters as picture frames and used ribbons to hang them.
