Materials List

  • Westcott 8'' Design Line Scissors
  • Westcott Carbo Titanium Narrow Body Trimmer
  • Colorful paper
  • Hole punch
  • Stapler
  • Twine

Instructions

  1. Gather your supplies.

  2. Using your Westcott CarboTitanium Narrow Body Trimmer cut the paper into one-inch strips (using five strips per ornament). Make two strips seven inches, two that are six inches, and one that is five inches.

  3. Stack strips together and line up the top edges. Staple one-inch down to leave room for a hole-punched twine handle.

  4. On the opposite end, line up all the different length strips so they meet. The ornament will then take shape. Secure with another staple.

  5. Next, punch a hole in the top and cut the twine with your Westcott 8” Design Line Scissors. Last, tread the twine through the hole and hang for all to see!

Let's see, it's inexpensive, very easy to make and very pretty. And another important quality for me, it's Unbreakable. I have four little grand kids so that's a very important point. I read the directions and between how well they are written and the pictures, it's going to be a very easy and quick project.

My favorite ornament to make is felt birds. My mother made them years and years ago and I've carried on the tradition. The ones she made are such cherished ornaments.

will be a money maker for our church hopefully.

My favorite DIY Christmas ornament is to fair isle knit ornaments out of coloful yarn!

I really enjoy designing and making fresh wreaths for the front door each Christmas.

I love creating handmade paper or beaded Tree ornaments, last year I even tried my hand at clay angels, they turned out great.

I like making small snowmen from felt that can be used as ornaments or a pin.

paper snowflakes

Nice paper cutter. I'd use that a lot.

Love the idea. Hope to start making some for this Christmas soon!

These are so sweet! Love to embroidery on paper ornaments!
