I don’t know about you, but this is the time of year when school pictures are being sent home. This year, I have 2 elementary daughters and one in preschool who all had school photos. We received all the photos in one day and I was immediately overtaken by dozens of adorable photos. I always feel like I need to buy some, but then when they come I never know what on earth I am going to do with so many pictures! So, I’m constantly finding ways and places to stick those little photos or ways to give them away. You will currently find them on the fridge, in some photo coasters, stuck in a few frames and strewn across the dining room table at my home. Please tell me I’m not the only one! The good news is that I came up with one more way to use up those school pictures! These pom pom Christmas photo ornaments are the perfect way to display some of those adorable pictures on your tree for years to come, or give as a gift! And since your kids can make them, that’s even better!
When I think of kids Christmas crafts, pom poms always come to mind. I’ve used them in my own holiday crafting and it’s always a hit. A few years ago, I made some Anthropologie inspired pom pom gift wrap and my kids loved helping out. The little poms are so easy for little toddler fingers to grasp and press down into glue and it always makes for a cute craft in the end. I was inspired by these pom pom ornaments from Skip to My Lou and decided to put my own spin on it by testing out some other festive shapes!
