Free Printables are really the best thing out in blog land in my opinion! You can do so much with them! I am loving all of the chalkboard printables out there! For the PTA board this year we wanted to give them something for Christmas as a Thank you and I decided to make them ornaments using the chalkboard printables. Today I am sharing a tutorial on how I turn free printables into ornaments + a roundup of free chalkboard printables! These make such an affordable DIY Christmas Ornament!
Here’s a little preview:
It’s pretty simple really! I just download them, shrink them and then consolidated them onto 1 page (usually 4 to a page)!
Then print them out on cardstock and cut them out!
I always love to ink the edges of print outs using distress ink.
I then found some cute double-sided Christmas paper. That way the border around the free printable is cute, but the back is also festive and cute! Then I used scrapbook stickies to adhere the chalkboard printables to the cute paper.
I cut them out leaving an even border around all 4 sides.
Then I inked around the edge of the Christmas Paper with the distress ink! I also printed out little PTA 2012-2013 tags, cut, and inked them too.
This is what the back looked like after I put the PTA tag on the back.
Next I used my eyelet kit to punch a hole in the top (a hole puncher works too)!
I was super excited at this point – they were turning out so cute!
To finish them off I used raffia to make a bow and a loop to hang them with. I cut a piece about a foot and half long.
Then I folded it over and pushed both ends though the back towards the front.
Then I tied it into a bow!
This is what the front and the back both look like:
