Nora was on the nice list and got that icy blue bike she asked for…with four wheels, NOT six wheels. She was soooo…happy! 🙂

Since Nora was born I’ve been making these easy homemade decoupage ornaments. And, the last few years Nora’s been involved with this fun holiday craft project. You can use anything you want to decorate these ornaments but, we always use a photo and cut out the year and age to put on one side of the ornament. On the other we cut out words or pictures that either describe Nora at that moment or words/pictures she picks just because she likes them. What I love about this project is that it can be messy and sloppy and the ornaments still turn out adorable. The Mod Podge works as glue as well as a waterbase sealer. The only part where you may want to help your young child is painting on the photo. The glue dries on clear but, you can see the grain so achieving even, uninterrupted strokes over the photo will give it more of a “clear coat.” Nora is 7 now and it’s been fun seeing these homemade ornaments hanging on the tree, standing up to the test of time. And, mod podge is non-toxic making this for a very kid-friendly project. (you still may want to ask your kids to wash their hands before putting their sticky fingers in their mouths!) My 16 oz. bottle of Mod Podge has lasted me 7 years so far and I think I have one more year to go with this same bottle! Okay, put on some holiday music and enjoy this fun kid activity!
PROJECT TIME: 5 hours which mostly includes time waiting for each side to dry. 30 minutes: actual cutting, gluing, “painting” time for one side. 2+ hours for drying one side.
Note: So, we’re not actively waiting during the drying time, we make this a 2 day project, letting the first side dry overnight, starting the next the next side in the morning, then, waiting 2+ hrs or overnight to flatten/hang the ornament.
