I found some cool fabric sheets that go in my ink jet printer. (Printable cotton fabric by Avery). I scanned some photos - one was of my 2nd cousin's new baby and a couple were of my avatar with the chickadee on my hand - and then I printed small copies on the fabric. They turned out very well! The fabric is stiff and it fed through my printer easily. The back of the fabric has an adhesive which can be ironed onto other fabric or you can just sew it. I tried both methods. I'm a quilter so I have a lot of fabric scraps to use as little borders around the photos. For the baby, I cut out the fabric around the photo in a heart shape. I stuffed the ornament with batting and used a fabric felt pen on the back to write her name, the year and who it was from. I also used a gold glitter fabric paint around the edges of the heart shape. Added a red and gold ribbon for hanging it and it looks pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself!
