Wow… I feel like I have so much to pack into just a few weeks! I love Christmas decorating and I love any excuse to display pics of the kids so this next project was a hit for me. I have seen so many photo frame ornaments but I am not about to drop $6 – $12 a pop for these on my tree. So… I made my own…
I started by purchasing this gold frame at the Dollar Tree for $1… woohoo:)
It was a table top frame so I just popped the holder off the back.
I then gave it a little Rust-Oleum Revamp with my favorite color…
Painter’s Touch Heirloom White
Now it needed to be shantied up a bit… So I added a bit of our FAV…. For more info on Ralph Lauren Glaze go visit our Favorite Products link.
You just paint it on and then wipe it off…
Here it is all wiped off…
Now just a add a picture of one of your favorite cuties… I had three favorites but I will just show you one:)
And because the Shanty Sisters are all about jute at the moment I added a bit of it to the top to hang my ornament.
I just cut two pieces of twine and tied a bow at the top…
… and added a bit of hot glue!
That was it… For just about $1 I have a great ornament that can be changed out each year. I love it! Want to see it on the tree?? Ok!
Thanks so much for stopping by guys!!
Of course I adore it!
What a great idea! I've been buying picture frame ornaments every year for the past 15 so I'm really excited to try this. They're beautiful, thanks!
CUTE! Those would go perfect on MY tree. I'm copying this one! Thanks!

These are great! Why is it that something so simple can be so profound sometimes? Definitely need to make these for next year!
so, so cute! I have to file this away to use next year! thanks for sharing!
Adorable! Merry Christmas!
That is gorgeous! I want to make these now!!!!!! THANKS!!!!
Little framed photos make the best decorations. People really stop and look at them! I have lots but they are all of all out pets we've had and out horses!. (We're big animal people!)
Such a cute idea and it looks so easy!! Love & blessings from NC!
