The holiday season is fast approaching, and there’s no better way to make your gift-giving extra special than by adding a handcrafted ornament to each package. In today’s project, I’m showing you how to create a beautiful DIY paper ornament that is sure to stand out and make your gifts unforgettable. Plus, it’s quick and easy—perfect for all my fellow busy crafters! 🎄✨
Watch the video tutorial below to see how I make this festive paper tree ornament using simple paper strips and a few added details. Whether you’re making one for yourself or crafting multiples for all your holiday presents, this is a project you’ll love creating over and over again!
Why You’ll Love Making This DIY Paper Ornament
- Perfect for Holiday Decor or Gift Wrapping: Not only are these ornaments super cute for decorating your tree, but they also make the perfect personalized touch for any wrapped gift.
- Easy and Quick to Make: Using 2” strips of Designer Series Paper, a pencil, and a little bit of glue, this project comes together in no time. It’s ideal for those last-minute gift wrapping sessions!
- Customizable for Any Occasion: You can swap out the paper and colors to match different themes or events. This tree design can easily be adapted for birthdays, housewarming gifts, or even as party favors.

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!
