I was searching for a way to create a translucent Christmas ornament with a photo of our house inside that I could use to create a Christmas card. I’m by no means a Photoshop guru, but I know enough about how to use the basic tools in Photoshop to follow most tutorials, so I thought I’d share the results of my project with those that may wish to undertake something similar. The entire process has many steps and I won’t repeat them here, but instead will share the (free) links to the tutorials that I found helpful.
This link entitled Photoshop: How to Make a Custom SNOWGLOBE from Scratch by Blue Light TV will guide you through the process of creating the round translucent ornament, placing your chosen photo inside, and adding falling snow.
This link entitled Creating a Christmas Bauble in Photoshop by davrodigital contains the steps for adding the ornament loop to the top of the ball.
This is how my project turned out. It’s not perfect by any means, but I’m satisfied with the results. Some of you may see this again when our Christmas cards go out! 😉
