Today I’m going to show you a simple craft to make a Christmas Ornament out of paper and ribbon.  And, keep in mind…. just because the craft is a simple one does not mean that the ornament will look simple when done.  As a matter of fact, the ornament turns out to be quite beautiful.  So, let’s get started.

Check out our other Christmas Crafts.

Craft materials required:

Colored Paper

Scissors

Ribbon

Hole Punch

Paper Clip

Ruler

 

Step 1

Cut 5 strips of paper about 4 cm wide.

 

Step 2

Cut 2 of them to the length of 20 cm, 2 to the length of 16 cm and 1 to the length of 12 cm.

 

Step 3

Place them on top of each other in this order… 20 cm – 16 cm  – 12 cm – 16 cm – 20 cm.  Bring one end of all the strips together and punch a hole in it.

 

Step 4

Tie a piece of ribbon as shown.  Leave it long enough to be used to hang it up somewhere.

 

Step 5

Bring the other end of all the strips together as shown. You can hold it in place with a paper clip.  Punch a hole in this end too.

 

Step 6

Tie a small piece of ribbon through the bottom end.

 

Step 7

Hang up the paper ornament on your Christmas tree or use it as a Christmas decoration somewhere else in your house.

And, that’s it.  I told you the craft is simple.  How did your Christmas Ornament turn out?  Let me know in the comments below.  And, don’t forget to take a picture of it as well…. you can include it in your comment, so I can take a look at it.
