I made my ornaments with a baby photo of Luke. On the back, I added his birthdate. I think that it would be so fun to make one of these each year to watch him grow!
These ornaments are simple and inexpensive to make. They are a great gift and would also be a great gift topper!
You could use any type of fillable ball ornament for this project. I used some that are a bit more flat but the perfectly round ones would work, as well.
