These fun paper ornaments can be made out of old Christmas/greeting cards or regular cardstock. You will need the following supplies:
1", 1.5" or 2" hole punch
Old greeting cards or cardstock
Xacto knife or scoring tool
Fish line/yarn/string/ribbon
Glue
Triangle template (download here)
You will need 20 circles (all the same size). Have fun mixing colors and patterns!
Cut out the appropriate triangle template and trace it on every circle. Use a scoring tool of the tip of an xacto knife to gently score all three sides. Fold the flaps inward.
Your top and bottom pieces will be created using 5 circles each. Fill in the middle section with the remaining 10 circles.
At some point, don't forget to tape one end of the string onto the inside.
Ta da! Thanks for swinging by and be sure to check out the rest of the ornament tutorials from the other ladies. :)
