Paper Ornament Ideas

[TinaLala]

OK gang I have a Junior Girl scout troop who wants to do some paper ornaments to be donated for the holidays. Looking for some ideas! What do you suggest??

I have a friend who makes holiday ornaments out of paper each year. Perhaps you could do something like that.

Tina, the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge has an "ornament" feature on it. If you cut the ornaments at a certain size and sandwiched a piece of pretty paper or vellum between, they would be a little more sturdy.

HTH,

Ok so I think we're going to do the marthastewart string balloon balls, the Danish weaved heart and the snowflake glitter ornament. I was going to do a tin nail punched one, but I think it's going to be too much work to cut the tin. I might also do a banner styled one with a snowman stamp glued onto a popsicle stick.

Give the girls a few options to decorate the tree.
