Is your Christmas tree full of pretty handmade ornaments? My tree has some generic bulbs with a bunch of special, sentimental bulbs scattered throughout. This tutorial will show you how to make your own paper Christmas tree ornament with included printable template and cut file.<\/p>\n

I like to change my Christmas tree decor every year. Not just the color scheme but also the ornaments I add. I actually have 2 trees so I get twice the fun when it comes to Christmas decorating.\u00a0Sometimes I will use photo frame ornaments<\/a> and other years I like to use hand painted bulbs to match specific colors.<\/p>\n

\"Pretty<\/p>\n

I have\u00a0some ornaments that I always include somewhere in my display. Usually I pick these up on a travel adventures like\u00a0our honeymoon ornament from Disney World or an aquarium ornament from Monterrey Bay aquarium.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for some fun paper Christmas ornaments that you can DIY yourself and are stunning, look no further! I have put together a printable template and SVG cut file perfect for you.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

These ornaments are very stylish and can be easily customized to suit your own unique style. You only need a few supplies so lets get started.<\/p>\n

How to make your own DIY paper ornament<\/h2>\n

If you have a digital cutter, you can use the cut file to easily cut your pieces. I personally use a Sizzix Eclips<\/a> but the Silhouette Cameo<\/a> is probably the most popular. These machines make quick and easy work of cutting out all of the pieces.<\/p>\n

If you do not have a cutting machine I have a printable PDF template. There are 3 different designs included or you can use them as a template to cut your own paper into the correct shape.<\/p>\n

For the size I have here, I used 8 paper pieces. If you prefer a full ornament, use more. If you like the spiral ornament with a peak in the center, use less.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Supplies<\/p>\n

The only other thing required to complete the ornament is string or twine. I used some beads to jazz it up but that is completely optional and up to you.<\/p>\n

\"Printable<\/p>\n

If you use the printable template you will need to punch a hole in both the bottom and top of the templates. The smaller the hole the better. Take a length of twine and tie a knot at the end. If you are using beads, begin threading them on. Make sure your knot is big enough so the beads or paper don’t slip through. I used the\u00a0We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile<\/a> to make small holes.<\/p>\n

\"Pretty<\/p>\n

I continued threading beads in the middle, it adds a little bit of sparkle to the center which is just barely visible when you use 8 pieces. I left about 3 inches in the center and then threaded the paper pieces onto the string or twine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

Tie a loop at the top to hang the ornament from. The last step is to fan out the paper pieces. to create your ornament.<\/p>\n
