Book lovers need Christmas ornaments too! But even if you’re not a book nerd you can use today’s tutorial to make any photograph or printable into a cute and easy Christmas ornament!

I made both Harry Potter and Hunger Games ones. We are in the middle of my Happy Hunger Games series after all :)

And as a bonus I’ve got another free Hunger Games printable from Heidi of Digknity.

I used it to make the Hunger Games ornament but you can easily use it to make other awesome crafts or just print one up and throw it in a frame for your favorite Tribute! For the Horcrux one I just typed it up (they match the Potter shirts and book bags that I sell in my shop).

To make the ornament you need

3X2 wood shapes
Wallet sized prints (you only need one per ornament or two if you want to do front and back)
Dimensional magic (I used glitter dimensional magic on the horcrux ornament and I used gold for the “ever” on the Hunger Games one and then the traditional kind for the rest of the ornament)
Basic glue
Ribbon
Something to cut holes (I used a cropidile but you can also use a drill and a hole punch)

Glue your print to your wood piece.
Punch a hole (if you are using a drill I would hole punch the print and drill the hole before gluing them together)
If you want to accent a letter like I did on the “Ever” do that now. And let dry.
Next cover with a thin even coat of dimensional magic all around. If there are bubbles use a dry pin or your finger to pop them or move them off the edge of the board.
String in your ribbon, tie and hang it on your tree!

If you want to make Hunger Games ones you can use this printable that Heidi is providing for us for FREE personal (non-commercial use). To get a full resolution copy click here! And don’t forget to visit her Etsy shop to see all her awesome designs.

And for extra fun I’ve teamed up with a bunch of other bloggers to bring you a TON of great ideas for trimming your tree!
