Paper Ornaments

Create these colorful paper ornaments for your Christmas tree. The folded sections are inserted into notched rings, which hold them into place without glue.

* Two-ply bristol board
* Scissors

Print this pattern file and cut the pieces as indicated.

Fold each teardrop shape in half and insert into the notches on the upper and lower circles, continuing until all six segments are in place.

The sizes and shapes of the ornaments can be changed provided that the inner and outer diameters of the circles are made equal to the inner and outer diameters of the pattern pieces at the point where the two are to be joined.

Handmade paper stars add a festive touch, whether you’re adorning a holiday mantel or decorating for a birthday party.

To make one, start by folding a square or rectangle of paper into accordion pleats (you may want to experiment with plain paper before working with fancier stock). The number of pleats determines the number of points on the ornament: For example, four pleats will equal eight points. Fold the accordion of paper in half to find the center; unfold, and staple once at the center. If your ornament is too long to be stapled, you can fashion a staple out of wire: Make two small holes in the center with an awl, insert the wire through the holes, and twist the back.

Make a deep diagonal or slightly curved cut into each end of the folded paper (about halfway to the center); the sharp corners will form the points of the star. Fan the sides out so that they meet, and attach them on the back with small pieces of tape. Use Scotch Magic tape, which is easy to remove, so you can flatten and store the star until the next special occasion.
