There are hundreds of ways in which you can personalize a dog Christmas ornament – all you need is imagination. What I will share with you right now are just some of the hundreds of possible ideas to get you started. I am sure that you will have plenty of ideas of your own, and you will be surprised at the ideas you will be able to create. You might even end up starting your own business creating ornaments for pet lovers!
How about trying a “Pup’s Trip around the World”? This is really very simple: you grab a digital camera and take pictures of your friend’s dog from different angles and then use your Photoshop skills when you get home. With just a few mouse clicks you can do amazing things with the image of the dog. You can put him in a Santa costume, Korean traditional dress, or a variety of outfits, and you can also put him in different settings and locations by using a variety of backgrounds, from the Great Wall of China to Mount Everest. Then print two of each of these images so that you can put each pair of identical images back-to-back. Then laminate them, punch a hole at the top, and thread a colorful ribbon through. You can even add some small bells if you like. If your Photoshop skills are really good, you can even add your friend to the picture, putting your friend in the same costume as the dog.
“Dogs of the World” can be really cute as well. Purchase small stuffed toys of different breeds of dog, and add loops of colorful ribbon to them, which can be used to suspend them decoratively. In a similar manner to “Pup’s Trip Around the World” you can surf the net for images of different dog breeds, print them and laminate them, so that you have a different version of the “Dogs of the World”. If you are good at painting and drawing, you can also create caricatures of dogs of different breeds on Christmas baubles, making yet a third version of this nifty idea.
Now if you really have plenty of time to spare, and you are really into the hard work and dedication that crafts demand, you might want to try “Dog Heads” and or “Pup Angels”. Use modeling clay to create dogs’ heads, paint them, and then attach a very tiny eye to each head through which you can thread the ribbon to hang them up as decorations. As you shape the clay you can give the dogs different facial expressions. To create the “Pup Angels” is a similar process, but you also add wings.

What are some fraction math project Christmas ornament ideas?
What are some fraction math project Christmas ornament ideas?
I am teaching my little brother, who has severe learning disabilities, how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Our Christmas Tree this year is also looking a little bare. So what is a way that I can make some ornaments and make it into a math project? Or am I just expecting too much? Lol.
If you don’t care about the ornaments looking *perfect*, here’s an idea you can try:
Make some “people” ornaments. For example, you could make a reindeer, a Santa, an elf, a penguin, a snowman and a family consisting of Mom, Dad, brother, sister, baby, dog and cat*. Then, make some cookie ornaments…just a big round circle with chocolate chips. Take one “cookie” and tell your brother, “This cookie is for EVERYone. How will they all get the same amount?” He’ll have to count the “people” and then decide that you need to cut the cookie into 12 equal pieces. Or, start off with twelve cookies and ask him How Many everyone gets. Or, 24 cookies and ask how many everyone gets. Once he gets that, take two cookies, and ask him how to divide the cookie so everyone gets the same amount. Set aside the animals (reindeer, penguin, dog and cat) and divide a cookie in fourths. Have him put the cookies back together after they’ve been cut (“three thirds equals one cookie”, etc) and tape them back into a whole cookie when you’re ready to hang it on a tree.
*I used these example because 12 is an easy number to divide, as opposed to, like, 9. I also listed different “people”, instead of 12 penguins, so it would be easier for a young child to understand and visualize. He can picture in his mind a brother and a sister splitting a cookie for a snack easier than imagining two divided by one.
