Christmas Card Ribbon Roll Ornaments

"This project not only is a festive way to upcycle Christmas cards from previous years but at the same time upcycle empty cardboard ribbon rolls from current gift wrapping. Combine both of these and you can make gorgeous ornaments that hardly cost anything. Make them festive by adding extra sparkle with a tinsel garland you may already have at home. At the same time, this also doubles as a way to cover the area on the side of the ribbon roll."

If you enjoyed creating the Christmas Card Ribbon Roll Ornaments, here are three more festive Christmas craft ideas for you to try:

1. Paper Strip Christmas Tree: Cut strips of green paper in varying lengths and widths to create a layered effect resembling a Christmas tree. Glue the strips onto a piece of cardstock in the shape of a tree, then decorate with small buttons, sequins, or glitter for ornaments. Add a paper star to the top and a trunk at the bottom to complete the look.

2. Popsicle Stick Snowflakes: Glue together popsicle sticks in a starburst pattern to create beautiful snowflake ornaments. Paint the sticks white or silver, then sprinkle with glitter while the paint is still wet for extra sparkle. Attach a loop of ribbon to the back for hanging on your Christmas tree or around the house.

3. Recycled Christmas Card Gift Tags: Cut out festive shapes from old Christmas cards, such as snowflakes, ornaments, or stockings. Punch a hole at the top and attach a loop of ribbon for hanging. These recycled gift tags can add a personal touch to your holiday gifts while reducing waste.
