The Cutest Christmas Ornament



















This is one of my favorite Christmas Ornaments. It has been inspired by the one my sister-in-law made as a little girl, I always loved the simplicity and the vintage feeling to it.
 
 The process is pretty self explanatory and the materials are really minimum(scrapbook paper, ribbons, fine markers, ink). I made those with my daughter and nephew, I also made one with my husband ,daughter and my finger print and added the year to it. The possibilities are really endless... Wouldn't  be cute making one for a teacher with her pupils finger print?
 
Tip: Help you kids, specially the little ones with the finger print part, since it can be a little messy. Also let dry for a bit, before any writing.
Right now I am in the process to make a hand sewn one too, with some cute holiday fabrics.
What are you making for Christmas? Any simple ideas to make with the kids?

I am happy to say that I  finish the dolls on time for Operation Christmas Child  for Samaritan's Purse. The dolls were the perfect addition for some of the small gifts we already had... I enjoy immensely making those dolls,  I specially  love to imagine the little girls receiving the dolls. Hopefully they will like it.By the way the National Collection Week is November 12-19.

The dolls are from the book Stitched in Time by Alicia Paulson. By the way she has the most sweet story.
