Recreate Your Own Paper Ornament

In the video tutorial, I walk you through the steps to roll 2” strips of paper, adhere them in layers, and create this cute little tree ornament. It’s a simple yet effective design that adds a handmade touch to any holiday gift or decor setup.

I used the Take a Bow Designer Series Paper to give it that perfect holiday vibe, but you can easily switch it up with any of your favorite patterned papers. To top it off, I added a die-cut star using the Decorative Trees Dies and attached the Gold Twisted Thread (avail. 11/5) for hanging. It’s the little details that make this ornament so special!
