Colorful Tissue Paper Ornament

 

Deck the halls with loads of cheery red and homemade tissue paper ornaments.  

Collecting a big box of recycled materials has been very motivating!  The thin cardboard boxes from cereal, crackers, pasta, etc are easy to cut yet, sturdy enough for crafting.  

I cut out the ornament shape , thin cut out the hole for the tissue paper.  I lined up the tissue paper strips and used a glue stick around the ages to hold them.

I cut out another piece of cardboard the same shape and glued it to the back.

Aluminum foil worked perfectly at the top and to add the hanging loop.

I used markers to decorate around the edges.  You could also add gems, puff paint,  stickers, whatever strikes your fancy.

That's it!  You could do any shape.  A Christmas tree, a window for a stained glass look.  Sometimes it's the simple things that make such a big impact.

Sending warmest wishes
