Mini Chalkboards with Christmas Carols

"Mini Chalkboards with Christmas Carols"

This Christmas we had a music theme throughout the house. I made these mini chalkboards with words from Christmas Carols on the front and left the back to personalize. I love to make ornaments that can be shared with friends. These can be taken home by guests after a party.

Instructions:

Each one will need the following:
