Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Let me start off with mono sucks. I am so glad that I am not sick anymore and have the energy to be a human again. Back to living life and blogging!

I have a Christmas Party tonight and we are doing an ornament exchange. I had left over empty clear bulbs from making ornaments for earlier in the month so I just bought some more paper and went to town. I remembered to take pictures this time so I could blog about it. I got the idea from pinterest (follow me!) and here is the original post.

Supplies

Scrapbook Paper or Wedding Invitation (if making the original)
Scissors
Pencil
Ornament
Ribbion


Tutorial

Cut the paper into strips that will fit into your ornament. You can use thick or thin strips depending on how you want it to look. I only used about a 1/4 of a large sheet of scrapbook paper for one ornament. 


Wrap the strips of paper around a pencil to make the curl then put the into the ornament. I used the pencil eraser to move them around once I got them in there.



Once you have the ornament as full as you want it you can put the top on and then adda ribbon to the top. Here are a few pictures of ones that I have made. The first one is a wedding invitation ornament from my friend's wedding, the second is one that I made with regular weight paper , and the last one is the one that I made today with heavier weight scrapbook paper.
