I’ve always loved making DIY Christmas crafts that I can use to decorate our home for the christmas season. That started because we always wanted to change the theme every year. Buying new decorations yearly is very expensive, so as a creative person who loves doing DIY projects, I decided to make some decorations instead of buying them from the stores. This way, we can save money and I can also practice my creative skills. With that being said, this paper craft is the perfect project if you have the same problem as I do. Have fun crafting this holiday season!

Folding paper
Fold all colored paper in half twice crosswise.

Gluing half circles
Glue the pieces together, alternating the colors, using a glue stick.
Applying glue
Apply a small horizontal strip of glue to each folded piece, alternating the placement between the top and bottom.
Gluing the ends
Glue the ends together to make the ornament. Make sure they are aligned.
Making the string
Cut a small piece of string and fold. Tie the ends into a knot.

Glue the string on the top of the ornament using hot glue.
