Baby’s First Christmas
Classic Handprint
Nothing says "First Christmas" quite like a tiny handprint ornament. Press their little hand into a salt dough disk (which you can DIY) or buy a kit. You can even paint their hand with glue, press it to a simple wood ornament and cover the print with glitter.
Light It Up
The cuteness of a baby playing in a tangle of fairy lights is hard to deny. Re-create this Pinterest-worthy idea with a simple strand in low light. A Santa hat doesn't hurt either. One word of caution: Make sure the bulbs don't get too warm.
Crafty Toes
A tiny foot painted brown and pressed to paper can become the head of a reindeer. Or paint both feet green and create mistletoe sprigs. These make adorable decorations and will remind you just how small they were on their first Christmas.
The Very Best Gift
Best use of sticky bows ever? Stick them all over Baby, or maybe just one on top of their adorable head, and get a photo of them under the tree. You really can't top that gift.
First Tree
Turn a small slice off the trunk of your Christmas tree into a special ornament. Use a paint pen to write your baby's name, the year, and "first Christmas." Drill a hole or glue on a ribbon for easy hanging.
Time Capsule
Create a special ornament by filling a clear ball with Baby's tiny hospital hat and ID bracelet. If you're still waiting for Baby to arrive on Christmas, how about sticking a little sonogram picture in there?
