These ornaments are probably too late for teacher gifts this year, but you could always pin it for next year!

 

Before we talk about the teacher ornaments I made,  here is a little back story. My Mom was looking for some ideas for little ornaments to give the women in her church and per usual, Vanessa from The Sew-er, The Caker, The Copycat Maker came to the rescue with these amazing glass ornaments.

Back in August, I helped my Mom make somewhere around 80 of these nativity ornaments. I was sworn to secrecy though, she didn’t want any of the recipients seeing their present on my blog. To save a few steps we copied the nativity directly onto the transparencies and then cut out the ornament shape.

These nativity ornaments got the ball rolling and I thought it would would be fun to make some ornaments for my kids teachers using the same principal.

1. I designed the ornaments and printed them out on regular paper. 
2. Then I headed over to Office Max and had them make color copies onto transparencies.  
3. Cut out the ornament shape using this template.
   
   Right click and select ‘save image’
4. Roll the transparency up and insert into the ornament.
5. Using a funnel, insert snow. In these case I cut up metallic paper shred in school colors to make some fun confetti.
6. You will need to pull the transparency up slightly and trim the very top of that little rectangle. 
7. Put the ornament top back on and you are all set!
