Christmas Handmade Ornament x Gift From Kids

 The ultimate gift for Grandparents - handmade, photo of kids + holiday decor. Each year we keep hearing that grandparents truly love and appreciate any of the above though adore how we MAKE and create something which fits all 3. So this past weekend, we did just that.

Santa face is a two sided Christmas handmade ornament featuring our kids (and now yours too!) darling smiles. Just another way you can "give" those school photos out too : )

What I used to create + MAKE this design?

Wooden Ornament 

Photo of Kids (school pic, family pics or summer photo enlarged?)

High Quality Scissors

Mod Podge 

Felt (pink, purple)

CHEEKS 2.0 Craft Mats - Available on Amazon! AND you can use promo code: 1010CRV2MJ24 on there for 10% off of the already 15% off Black Friday early deals. Just for our community! : )

Glitter fabric felt (white, teal, gold)

Felt Glue

Glue Gun

Yarn (teal, pink, white, purple)

Pom-pom maker (used smallest size)

Acrylic Paint (brown, white, pink, black)

Q-Tips

Silver Glitter Ribbon

Directions:

Step 1: Apply 1 coat of Mod Podge on your wooden ornament then place your photo of top. Apply one more layer of Mod Podge on top of the photo to seal it. Let dry.

Step 2: Mix together brown and white acrylic paint to get your desired skin tone color choice in the mixing containers (far circle containers) on 2.0 Cheeks Craft Mat.

Step 3: Paint one full blank side of the wooden ornament with your mixed acrylic paint color.

Step 4: Using Q-Tips, dab on small black circles for the eyes. Then another Q-Tip for the nose. Let dry.

Step 5: Trace your wooden ornament with a pencil on top of two pieces of felt stacked. Then Cut .5 inches away (out from) the traced lined for your santa hat. You should have two pieces total 

Step 6: Cut up in a rectangle shape on one side and then all the way 2/3 and across to make your Santa hat shape.

Step 7: Taking cardboard, cut and measure the length of one rectangle piece and double it to fold in half for the both sides of the hat trim. Tie a knot on the cardboard with yarn. Then wrap all the way around it.

Step 8: Glue the yarn rectangle piece you just made onto your 2 felt Santa hat pieces mirroring each other (leaving the end of the hat open/non-glued) so you can pull it through on top to fall down on his face.

Step 9: Glue gun a pom-pom to the end of your Santa's hat.

Step 10: Trace the bottom portion of Santa's face for the bread. 

Step 11: Cut your trace line in scalloped pattern. Then cut 2 small rounded diamond shapes for the mustache. Glue gun all pieces onto painted acrylic side (Santa Face).

Step 12: Glue gun hat to painted acrylic side (Santa Face) and then flip to see child wearing Santa hat!

Then, If you and your kids decide to MAKE this, feel free to tag either Nicole (@cheeksbrand) or I! STEPH @mama.jots and we'd be delighted to share your take!
