Make Christmas Star Ornaments

You really couldn't make an easier Christmas ornament if you tried. All you need is to get some shiny wrapping paper. Print Out This Star to trace on to the wrapping paper...3 times for each ornament. Fold these 3 large stars in half. Glue together in the center seam. Attach a loop of narrow yellow ribbon between 2 of them to make a hanger. Now just let it dry and you have your very own Christmas ornaments.

Cranberry People Christmas Ornaments

Cranberry Figures Figures may be made with cranberries. To make a doll, thread a fine wire through a large darning needle, knotting the 2 ends, and then tie another knot to make a loop. String a large berry for a head, drawing the doubled strand through as far as the loop, which will be used for hanging the doll. String as many berries as you with for the torso, then cut the wire and draw the separate strands through berries for the legs.Take another wire and thread for single strand work. Knot the end and draw it through as many berries as you need for one arm; then pull the wire through the berry that is below the head, and string the same number of berries for the other arm and knot the wire. To make animals, string the head, neck, body and tail on one wire. Then on another wire, draw enough berries for one leg, send the needle through a berry in the body where you think the rear leg should be appended; then string as many berries for the opposite leg. In the same manner, string the two front legs.

Making Foldable Paper Star Christmas Ornaments

These paper Xmas ornaments are fun to make. Cut a long strip from a piece of paper and fold them like an accordion, backwards and forwards. If you can't make a long enough piece of paper to fold this many times, glue 2 pieces of paper together. You should have 11 squares as seen in the illustrations above. Then just glue the first square (1) to the last square (11) and it will be bent in the shape of a star. Punch a hole in the top of the star and tie a string thru this to hang on your Christmas tree.
