Step one: Cutting your string
I like to get this part out of the way first! You’ll need something to hang your easy DIY paper Christmas ornaments from. Use your ruler to cut an 8 inch piece of string and set it aside.
Step two: Measuring and cutting the strips for your easy DIY paper Christmas ornaments
Each ornament will use five strips. You will have one short strip, two medium strips and two long strips. Measure your strips out as follows:
- One short strip: 4 inches x 1 inch
- Two medium strips: 4.5 inches x 1 inch
- Two long strips: 5 inches x 1 inch
Cut the strips out when you are finished measuring.
Step three: Putting the easy DIY paper Christmas ornaments together
In this step, you are going to sandwich your paper strips together. They need to go in order so you can achieve the ornament shape when you’re finished. The order the strips go in is as follows:
- Long strip
- Medium strip
- Short strip
- Medium strip
- Long strip
Stack the strips on top of each other in order and match the ends up on one side so they are all together, like in the photo. Staple this end together!
This next part takes a little finesse. After you have secured one end of your easy DIY paper Christmas ornaments, the other end will be uneven. Match the opposite ends of your paper strips up and carefully staple them.
You will end up with this beautifully shaped paper ornament!
Step four: Finishing your ornaments up!
The last this to-do in this oh-so-easy tutorial is to tie your string through one of the sections of the ornament. You are finished with that one and it looks great! how many more are you going to make??
