"Sentimental gifts often require personalization. But this year, my friends and I decided to pull back a little bit on holiday gift-giving. So my goal was to come up with something simple and inexpensive that still had a personal touch and looked luxe. With splurge-y custom creations out of the question, I finally found the perfect solution - in an unexpected place - with these double-glass brass picture frames from Amazon."
"These tiny frames come in a pack of four, so I knew that wallet-size photo prints would do the trick. I had the 2×3-inch pictures printed for about $1 per sheet (that's just 25 cents per photo!) then cut them out. One thing to keep in mind: All four images must be the same, which worked out for me since I used the same images for multiple ornaments."
"To get the images into the frame slots, I slipped the top in first, then the left side, then the right side, followed by the bottom. This was a little tricky, but patience is definitely key. The frames come with little round stickers, too, which I placed in the middle before closing; this helps prevent the image from shifting around. I loved that the frames each came with clip-on metal chains as well."
Double-glass brass picture frames provide an affordable way to create sentimental Christmas tree ornaments. The frames come four to a pack and fit wallet-size 2×3-inch photos printed cheaply; each photo sheet cost about $1, yielding four images per sheet. Images need slight trimming to fit; creating a stencil from the frames simplifies cutting. To insert photos, slide the top, then left, right, and bottom sides carefully, and place the included round sticker in the center to prevent shifting. Each frame includes a clip-on metal chain for hanging. The result is a simple, sturdy, personalized ornament with a luxe look.
