Loteria ornaments with gems

Don’t they look a bit labor intensive? Actually there is a very smart short cut here. Simply look for wreath-shaped ornaments at the dollar store, or you can even make your own. Use them to frame the Loteria card.

Truth is, they are what I call “halfway handmade.”

I bought the glittery wreath ornaments at Big Lots, and then pieces from a large-sized Loteria game to the back of each one. But that wasn’t enough, they still needed a punch of something.

Hello, gems! 

Why these are a good idea to make

All you need is one game and it will take you a long way.

Other ideas for DIY Loteria ornaments:

Loteria Card Mini Frames: Cut out the individual images from Loteria cards and place them in small photo frames. These mini framed artworks can be hung on the tree with ribbon or hooks. They will add a colorful and unique touch to your Christmas tree.

Loteria Card Snowflakes: Create snowflake designs by cutting the cards into snowflake shapes. You can fold the cards like traditional paper snowflakes and cut out various patterns. Laminate them for durability and hang them with a thin string or fishing line for an elegant look.

3D Loteria Card Ornaments: Make three-dimensional ornaments by cutting out multiple images from the cards and attaching them back-to-back with a spacer in between to create a 3D effect. This can be done with stars, circles, or any shape of your choice. Add a loop of ribbon at the top for hanging.

Loteria Card Decoupage Balls: Use clear or colored Christmas balls and decoupage cutouts from the Loteria cards onto them. You can cover the entire ball or just add a few images as accents. Once dry, these decoupaged balls can be adorned with glitter or other decorative elements.

Loteria Card Banners: Create tiny banners or flags by cutting the cards into small triangular or flag shapes. String them together using a thin ribbon or twine. These miniature banners can be wrapped around the tree like a garland or hung individually.

Remember to laminate the Loteria cards or apply a clear sealant to protect them, especially if you plan to use these ornaments for many years. These DIY projects are not only fun to make but also add a personal and culturally rich touch to your Christmas decorations.
