Recycle cards and wrapping paper to make great Christmas ornaments but also can be decorated for ANY occasion.

What you'll need:

  • Pretty paper like wrapping paper, or old Christmas cards, or shiny magazine page (print won't show)
  • Hot glue gun or scotch tape
  • Your choice of decorative effects

How to make it:

I found a great way to recycle cards and leftover wrapping paper. I received raves and requests for them!!

  1. Fold desired length of paper in half. I used 20 inches long and 5 inches wide, when all folded.
  2. Fold paper or card accordion style.
  3. Hot glue or tape short end. Fluff out into fan shape.
  4. Decorate with anything!! I use ribbons, bows, tiny ornaments and spray with glitter, hang a ribbon on top for hanger.
