Make Vintage Postcard Ornaments | Holiday Crafts

When I came home for the holidays, my mom showed me her latest craft—these lovely Christmas ornaments, made from vintage holiday postcards. I asked her to show me just how she made them so that I could share it here with you!

Instructions to Make Vintage Postcard Ornaments

• Find a vintage postcard, and cut the image to the size you desire.
• Cut a piece of foam board to match, and glue the image on.
• Pick a ribbon that is the width of the foam board, and glue it over the raw edge.
• Frame the picture in rick-rack, gluing it in place.Using a thin piece of wire, poke holes through the top of the foam board, and thread the wire through, forming a hanger.
• You can decorate with beads, if you desire.
• Secure the hanger by twisting the ends with pliers.

That’s it! Have fun making your own vintage postcard ornaments. This post was first published in 2011 and has been updated.
