Student Ornaments

I can't remember where I ran across this idea for student ornaments this year, but they turned out super cute! The only downside to these is that the kids didn't do too much of the work, but I love that their picture is on it.

I should've taken more pictures of the process, but here are the steps:

1. Take student pictures like they are having fun in the snow. :)
2. Print the pictures in color (if possible) - I fit 6 on a page I think.
3. Take on the tedious task of cutting around all those cute little kiddos.
4. Have your kids or amazing helpers punch out lots of little circles with a regular hole punch and white paper.
5. Using a laminator pouch, place two rows of curvy white paper down inside.
6. Sprinkle the "snow" dots inside the pouch as well. Add a little glitter to make it shine.
7.  Then place the kids' pictures down on top of the snowy hill with enough space to cut a circle around them. (I was able to fit 4 students on a page)
8. Carefully close the pouch and run through the laminator (with your fingers and toes crossed! ha! - it really wasn't that bad)
9. I cut a circle from our die cut machine and then traced the circle on the back side of each student and then cut them out. I didn't trust myself enough to cut them out with the die cut.
10. Punch a hole at the top and string through some fishing line or yarn and then you're all set!!

I had the kids wrap their ornament with colored printing paper and then sent them home. From the sounds of it, the parents loved them. Win!

What are some of your ideas for student ornaments? I'd love to hear! I never seem to do the same thing each year, although I really liked how these turned out.
