DIY Dyed Wood Photo Ornament

MAKE: dyed wood photo frame ornaments. 

 DIY Dyed Wood Photo Frame Ornament. A sweet and sentimental handmade gift!

The holidays are ALMOST here! Are you ready? (I’m not!!!)

If you are looking for a last minute DIY gift… I’ve got a sweet and sentimental handmade idea for you. If you don’t have the time this week, save this idea for next Christmas (Or even for Mother’s Day).

I’ve been saving a picture of my daughter and putting it in an ornament every year. (Gosh, this is her THIRD Christmas… timing is flying by so fast!) The past two years I just put her photo in a frame but this year I thought I’d create the photo ornament myself.

I found some really cute Polaroid shaped wood cutouts at Michaels and decided to dye the wood a red color to complement the red jacket she wore in the photo.

Did you know you can dye wood with fabric dye? You can! Remember the DIY dyed clothespins I made a few years back? I used the same leftover dye (that I received from Tulip a few years ago) and used the red shade to dye my wood cutouts.

How to dye wood. Love this idea!  DIY Dyed Wood Photo Frame Ornament.

Learn how to create this dyed wood photo ornament in my video below. This craft would make a great keepsake or special gift for grandparents.

You don’t have to dye the wood pieces. You could paint the frames or leave the veneer raw. Either way, it would make a charming ornament!
