Paper Ornaments

I LOVE making paper ornaments - I'm always looking for new ideas and I always enjoy making old favorites! Remember these ones that I posted last year (just click on the link to view - most have links to instructions):

*Paper Wreaths

*3D Circle Ornaments and Boxes

*German Stars

Well, I've made a few more of these this year but also added some new ones to my Christmas Ornament creations! I haven't added the finishing touches yet like ribbon and string, but I wanted to share them before I forgot - here are some that I've made recently...

Thanks to Amy for posting a new (to me) tutorial for more paper wreaths - I found this Tuesday and couldn't wait to try it, I created my first one while I waited to pick my girls up from school that day. I like these ones because they will be a lot easier for my girls to create with me - the other ones are a little more complicated. You can create individual wreaths or Amy even put 8 individual wreaths together to create one big gorgeous wreath! What a fun idea!

And then last week I saw this gorgeous card with a removable ornament - isn't that a great idea! I've made these hearts before but never thought to do them for Christmas ornaments - I learned that they are called a julehjerte, which means Christmas heart in Danish - how perfect! I haven't finished my first one yet, but I plan on making a lot more of these as well, especially some with a more wintry theme - this one uses the Jingle papers but looks perfect for Valentine's Day.

Then here are some of my old favorites - this gives you an idea on how big the different German Stars are - the first one uses 1" strips, the second uses 3/4" strips, and the third uses 1/2" strips - the middle is my favorite size.

And more wreaths - each one uses the same papers from Jingle, I just used the back-side for a totally different look!

Thanks for looking! And if you have any links for more paper ornaments, please share, I would love to try them!
