Tissue Paper Printed Christmas Ornament Supplies:

  • white tissue paper
  • clear tape
  • white copy paper
  • wood ornaments
  • holly and berries
  • mod podge

You also need an inkjet printer to make these ornaments. Let’s get into how to make these fun ornaments.

How to Make Tissue Paper Printed Christmas Ornament

The first step is deciding what cute photos you want to use in making these photo ornaments. I picked our fur babies for this craft. You need to measure the width and height of your ornaments, so you know what size to print your photos. Three inches was perfect for the wooden ornaments I used.

You can use google docs, microsoft word, photoshop, or any program that allows you to insert your photos and resize them and then print.

Then it’s time to prep your paper.

Wrapping copy paper in tissue paper.

Cut a piece of tissue paper about 2 inches wider and 2 inches taller than the copy paper – so 10.5″ x 13″. Center the copy paper, so you have an inch of tissue paper sticking out on each side.

Taping up the tissue paper on top of the copy paper.

Fold over the edges and smoothly tape them down with your clear tape. I used a 2-3″ piece of tape on each side, and a small piece of tape on the edges to make sure they lay flat.

Make sure you insert your tissue paper covered copy paper the correct way into your printer, you want to make sure you are printing on the tissue paper.

Then print your paper, make sure to print in black and white. Let them sit a few minutes before removing the tissue paper from the copy paper.

Then I used sharp scissors to cut the images out. I cut them into a circle shape since that was the shape of my ornament.

Here’s the tissue paper laying on top of the ornament after I cut it out.

Putting mod podge on the wood ornaments.

Then paint on an even layer of mod podge on top of the ornament.

Put tissue paper image on top of the mod podge.

Place the cut tissue paper image on the center of the ornament on top of the mod podge. Gently press down.

Then brush mod podge on top of the images… gently!

In a few minutes, it will dry and will smooth out.

I finished off the ornament by adding the holly and berries through the opening for a little bit of color.

    Great idea to wrap the tissue paper around a printer paper; I would never have thought about that! I’m singing, “a whole new world” in my head! Cute ornaments with your fur babies!

    Maryann these are so cute. I love that you printed them in black and white giving them a pretty vintage feel. I’ve tried printing on wax paper before but not tissue paper. Can’t wait to try this new to me technique.
