Card and Wrapping Paper Ornaments

Difficulty: Very Easy

Average User Rating:

Show kids how they can make a beautiful card and wrapping paper ornament. Since Christmas always generates lots of cards and paper, this is a good chance to teach the principle of recycling.

What you'll need:

  • Wrapping paper, old Christmas cards or a glossy magazine page 
  • Hot glue gun or scotch tape
  • Your choice of decorative effects

How to make it:

  1. Fold desired length of paper in half. We used one that was 20 inches long and five inches wide once folded.
  2. Fold paper or card accordion style.
  3. Hot glue or tape short end. Fluff into a fan shape.
  4. Decorate with anything! We like ribbons, bows, tiny ornaments, glitter spray, etc. When you're finished, hot glue a ribbon to the top for it a hanger.
