Get your DIY on this Christmas with these upcycled Holiday Character Light Bulb Ornaments. Choose from a snowman or penguin, or make both! Creating holiday ornaments doesn't have to be expensive, in fact, my favourite way is using the Three R's. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle! Or a more trendy term I suppose is Upcycle.

* My reviewer Diane had the pleasure of creating a sweet keepsake ornament from Little Big Impressions! * Like most parents, we’ve done handprints and footprints of the kids with paint, and in casting moulds… all cute, but lacking the true details we were trying to capture. Those were our only choices though… or so I thought. Then I got to try Little Big Impressions. With Christmas coming I knew I had to make a “my first Christmas” ornament for our newest arrival.
