My Dad made these super cool postage stamp ornaments for each one of us for Christmas. He used brand-new postage stamps placed back to back for these, but he also made some for other family members with old postage stamps with Kansas and Colorado pictures on them. Two pieces of clear glass must be cut and placed on each side of the stamp. To seal the edges of the glass he uses stained glass techniques, tools, and foil soldering methods.
Sarah's ornament ~Jessie, Woody and Bullseye, from Disney's Toy Story movies
My ornament ~ Nemo and the little sea turtle Squirt, from Disney's Finding Nemo movie
Phoebe's ornament ~ Sulley, Boo, and Mike Wazowski, from Disney's Monster's Inc. movie
Eric's ornament ~ Mr. Fredricksen and Doug, from Disney's UP movie
This ornament is a surprise gift for someone special ~ Buzz Lightyear and the Aliens, from Disney's Toy Story movies
Silas's ornament ~ Lightning McQueen and Mater, from Disney's Cars movie
(Little confession... I actually knew he was making these for us ahead of time because I personally requested them when I came across these Disney movie postage stamps.) Thanks Dad! They turned out great!
