One of the best activities during the holidays is to DIY projects with your family. It’s especially good now that so many of us are under quarantine or self distancing this year. So why not add a bit of uniqueness to it by adding in Kpop!
You can make fun Kpop Christmas ornaments and decorations with just photo cards (that come with the physical albums) and Xmas decor from any store. I made 9 ornaments for $25. That’s just $2.77 for each ornament! A dollar store will be the best place to grab everything on your list. 😉

1. SuperM Christmas Cards
SuperM is one of my absolute favorite groups so I was really excited to make these ornaments. Since I’m really protective of the photocards I have of them I made sure to only use small pieces of tape when adding the details. To make this DIY super easy I just used the handy photo card holder that came with albums I purchased for the actual card part. Another option would be to use a medium sized photo and tape it onto an actual Christmas card.

Taemin is my ultimate bias (top 3 are Miyavi, Taemin and Rain) so I wanted to make sure that whichever ornaments I made using his photocards made the least amount of damage to the card.
