Every Year I like to do a special ornament that is just for each child.  Last year I did these sihlouettes.  
First I took a picture of each child from the side.  
Print the picture, it can be cheap paper or even in black and white, cut it out and trace it on Black paper
I tried to find chipboard that fit the pictures but I ended up just making my own our of posterboard, you can use the hard backing of a notebook, or cereal boxes.   
I inked around the edges.   By rubbing the edge of the ornament on the ink pad.
I love how they turned out and I even made them for my neighbor, one of each of her boys too.  The back has a printed label of "who" and the year.
 
What an awesome idea! Love it!
