Christmas Ornament Frame

Christmas Ornament Photo Frame
Photo sits inside a "pocket" on the back - made up of a spacer piece and square backer that holds it in place.

1. Fill in your custom text. Can do multiple lines, just hit "enter" key between each.

2. Download SVG

3. Cut "Backer" from 1/16 or 1/8 clear acrylic (this is the foundation element of your piece - it protects the photo and gives the design elements somewhere to adhere to). I like to use 1/16, but if you believe it will be handled a lot, consider using 1/8 for extra support.

4. Cut "Top" and "Stripes" elements from any thickness of material with double-sided adhesive on BACK of your pieces. They are separated by color.

5. Cut "Back Cover" from same thickness of material. I usually match this to my favorite stripe color.

6. Cut the "Spacer" element from 1/16 acrylic with double-sided adhesive on BOTH SIDES of piece - this is where the photo will sit.

7. Color fill engraved areas on "Back Piece" as needed/desired with craft paint or markers.

8. Assemble as follows (video for reference: https://youtu.be/RuwA-5RvkgQ)

   • Place top element on front of clear frame piece, taking extra care to line up edges of design elements.

   • Arrange remaining stripe pieces by aligning to edge of clear acrylic

   • On the back, line up and place your spacer piece so it sits around the hole inside your ornament

   • Place the backer element on top of your spacer piece.

9. Add a ribbon for hanging

10. Add a photo
