Ornament week continues on Crafts ‘n Coffee, and today we have a dozen different ornaments you can make with paper. Who doesn’t love paper? It’s inexpensive, easy to use, and sold everywhere; and did I mention the endless selection? From soft & sweet pastels to punchy polka dots, I hope you’ll find a Christmas ornament in today’s line up that you just have to make. Also, don’t forget to watch our video “5 Christmas Ornaments in 5 Minutes” for even more ideas.
Step-by-step instructions for each of these ornaments are available on StyrofoamCrafts.com. Just click on the photo and you’ll be whisked away to the tutorial.
Kathleen George chose a metallic silver cardstock to add a little bling to these Sparkling Paper Strip Ornaments.
Is vintage your Christmas style? Then you'll want to make these sweet Vintage Ruffled Star Ornaments designed by Rebekah Meier.
Patty Schaffer used her paper punch to make our Red & White Paper Punch Ornament. It's easy to work on this one during your TV time.
Remember cutting out snowflakes? Make them in miniature for our Snowflake Ornaments.
Make an Around-the-World-Map Ornament for the world traveller on your list.
Decoupage sheet music for your favorite Christmas Carols on a foam ball to make the Christmas Carol Ornament. Easy enough for the kids to make, too.
Glittery Star Song Ornaments made by Rebekah Meier will make your tree sing!
Sparkling tinsel and vintage papers add old world charm to the Sparkling Vintage Cube Ornament (right). Ric rac and retro papers are used on the second cube.
The Paper Cube Ornaments look like mini packages. We went with brights, but you could "wrap your gifts" in pastel papers or even solids.
You won't miss the Polka Dot Punch Ornaments hanging on your tree. Or, pile a bunch in a glass bowl for a colorful display.
Christmas bells were never this pretty! Our Opulent Wedding Bells Ornaments would make a very special "first Christmas" gift for newlyweds.
O.K., this one isn't exactly an ornament . . . but our beautiful Golden Ornament Card is definitely a keepsake. A half-ball of STYROFOAM Brand Foam is decorated to look like an ornament and makes the card a standout.
There’s more to come tomorrow – see you then!
Happy Christmas crafting!
