I had some leftover scrapbook paper from my DIY Ticket Shadowbox project, so I decided to turn it into a homemade Christmas ornament.
I love that aside from the extra ornament that I had to buy, everything in this craft is a leftover piece from something else. It really pays to hang onto your paper scraps!
If you have time and you’re feeling extra crafty, decorate the ribbon strips with glitter or quotes. Or, instead of scrapbook paper use the pages from an old book. The possibilities are endless. Aren’t DIY Christmas ornaments so much fun?
Prepare to curl some ribbon…
Make some pipe cleaner circles…
But, make sure to tuck them in.
And then hang your pretty ornament on your Christmas tree!
