Twisted Paper Ornaments

"Looking for a unique and fun ornament to make this year? These twisted paper ornaments are nothing short of that and require just a handful of supplies! We love this project because it’s so versatile. Pick card stock to match your interior or your holiday color scheme. Gold and white, red and green, stripes and polka dots, or mix and match different prints for a fun design! The whole family will love making their own creative paper ornament. While the kids usually come home with homemade ornaments from school to hang on the tree and keep as mementos, this year may be a bit different. With schools all over using virtual learning, or simply your kids are growing up and no longer bring home sweet keepsakes, you can take this opportunity as quality time at home with those you love most."
