I've been such a slacker that I haven't gotten around to posting the awesome Christmas ornaments I made this year. (I made a number of gifts but this may just be the only one I end up sharing. I was just too busy with the holidays to update or post much of anything.) These were Simon's gift to everyone this year and I may just make it an annual gift in the future.
I bought some plain glass balls and a bunch of ribbon when we were out shopping the day after Thanksgiving back in November. The balls are really cool because you can take the top off them and put just about anything small enough to fit through the hole inside for decorations. I just took some of the Christmas photos I had taken and edited of Simon and put them on the inside. (Getting them in and looking good took some doing but once I figured out how to roll and unroll them effectively it got easier.) Then I added some kind of festive bow around the top with some ribbon. Really easy and the effect is pretty cool.
We didn't put up a Christmas tree or I would have put them on the tree to take pics...But here they are:
