Vintage Upcycled Ornaments

How darned cute are these ornaments?!

Baby Hand Ornament

My sis-in-law fell in love with this idea that I found on Pinterest, so we made our own custom ornament with my nephew's one year old handprint on a clear plastic ornament using metallic acrylic craft paint.  We also found some silver metallic Sharpie markers and wrote his name and the year on the back.  Too cute!!
