DIY Christmas Ornament

So a couple weeks ago i went to my first tree festival and it was pretty awesome! There was one tree in particular that i loved the most and it had a vintage theme...i don't know why but lately i just love the vintage look! As i was looking at the tree for the second time i noticed these amazing ornaments and knew that i could remake them! Aren't they pretty cool?



So here is my version of the ornament, I've tried this ornament 2 times and failed,  i guess that the 3rd times the charm ;)

Here's What you'll need:
Scrape book paper
Scissors
Glue
Something to make circles with - I used the bottom of a cup
Ribbon or thread 



First cut out some circles....about a million..well maybe not that many...
(sorry about the purple-ish color of some of these photos im not sure why they turned out that way)

Also cut out one the same size out of paper and draw a triangle on it.



Fold up the sides of the circle on the lines you just made for the triangle as pictured


This is going to be what you'll use to fold up the edges of all the circles.


So after you do that to the circles...i just did about 20 to start with...you shouldn't need much more than that.

Next go ahead and glue 2 sides together


And continue to keep gluing here is mine a little over halfway through


Glue and glue and glue till you get to the point where you just have one more left to place, this is when you'll glue a piece of ribbon or thread on the inside flap for hanging it.

Go ahead and glue the last piece and wa-la! so pretty! I love using paper that has glitter or sparkles it just looks so much nicer, plus you don't have to decorate it!


Have Fun!

    Your ornaments turned out beautifully. Love the paper and pattern you chose. So glad we were "neighbors" at The Southern Institute's linky party. Cheers! Jenn/Rook No. 17

    This ornament came out great. I made a similar one with cards we got at our wedding. Nice job!

    Oh, how cool! I thought this was goingto be super tricky, but i think I can handle it. You might be able to do this with kids who are a little older too. Awesome idea.

    Beautiful! I have made them for years, even out of fabric (fused to cardstock). Old Christmas cards are fun, too. There is an easier way to put them together - I'll try to do a tut & share with you.
