Christmas Silhouettes - Personalize it with Your Own Picture!

Yay for my first Christmas decoration of the year!  I LOVE how these turned out - and they were so easy:)  I of course love them because they are made from silhouettes of my two little sweeties.  You can personalize your own with pictures of your kids, or grandkids, or yourself! 
I was definitely inspired by this post here - and I still may make those darling ornaments.  But, I had already made these silhouette paintings, and couldn't resist decorating them for Christmas.  Check out my other blog post to see how I traced pictures of my kids and painted them onto these canvases from the craft store. 

I cut bonnets out of felt, the right size to fit my painted heads.

I added fabric, ribbons, ruffles and holley along the "brim".  I just used things I already had around the house - and there are many more possibilities.

I fastened my embellishments by sewing and/or gluing. 

And then attached the bonnets to the pictures with a dab of hot glue.

I also strung some beads on a string to make a "necklace" which I also fastened with a tiny bit of hot glue.  All the hot glue I used is very minimal, so I may pop the embellishments off after Christmas...but they look so cute, I may make them part of my yearly decor:)
