Web Wednesday: Christmas Photo Block Ornaments



One of the most popular holiday items people buy or make this time of year are ornaments. Ornaments can be made in all shapes and sizes, and make great crafts that kids can help create. We recently discovered such a craft project on the blog, Bear Rabbit Bear Crafts. Melanie designed these Christmas Photo Block Ornaments. This project allows you to combine photos and ornaments. It makes a great addition to your tree, or you can create and give as a gift. To learn how Melanie made these ornaments, click here.
