These photo block ornaments are really very simple, but the final result is an ornament that would make a special gift or keepsake. I love how these turned out and hope to make some more of them in the coming months!
I used vintage-y scrapbook paper on my blocks, along with a picture of one of my early Christmases on one of the ornaments, but you could make a variety of themes: baby pinks, blues, greens and yellows for Baby’s 1st Christmas, traditional red and green with a Christmas photo, silver foil papers with a black and white photo, etc.

Lightly sand the edges of each side of the block to give the paper a worn, imperfect look.
