Every year my side of the family does a Christmas Ornament Exchange. This is my favorite tradition at Christmas time.
There are 7 kids in my family plus my Mom. That means that we make 8 of the same ornament so we can exchange them and we all have the same collection of ornaments.
I love my family ornaments and they are great keepsakes. We have been doing it for about 10 years now so I have a great collection!
We have not exchanged our ornaments this year yet, so that means all of my family is getting a sneak peek. But they turned out so cute that I wanted to share them with you so you would have the time to make some for yourself too!

Snowglobe Christmas Ornament Video Tutorial
Like videos? I do have a video tutorial if you would prefer to watch the tutorial. Please subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don't miss out on any future video tutorials!
Aren't they cute? And they are really pretty cheap to make too! But I couldn't leave well enough alone. The ornament needed a tag!
How to Make a Christmas Ornament Tag
To make the cute little bows, I used a fork. I found the instructions here.
To assemble them I started by writing my name and year on the back of the square. Layer the stamped image using glue dots to hold everything in place.
I love how my ornaments turned out and I hope my family likes them.
