Christmas Traditions: Making ornaments

Since I like to do crafty things, I was inspired by a craft I had seen on Pinterest for some cute Christmas ornaments. 

I decided to use this idea, but make the ornaments with small pieces of craft wood, scrapbook paper, and mod podge. Also, we wanted to add some of the names of Jesus to the ornaments.

My husband cut all the wood pieces down and drilled two holes toward the top. Then I cut the printed scrapbook paper to fit the wood pieces, and cut a smaller piece of solid paper for the names.

We looked up 24 names of Jesus that we wanted to put on our ornaments. Then each of us wrote out the names on the solid paper and attached them to the printed paper. Next, we adhered them to the wood pieces with the mod podge.

Once these are all dry, we will be adding a small piece of wire so we can hang them on our Christmas tree. I am really happy with the way these turned out! It will be so nice having our tree decorated with 24 names of Jesus!
