Need a super easy craft for this afternoon?? I’ve got it! Paper Strip Ornaments!!
I hosted playgroup at my house and I just can’t not do something crafty when there’s a group gathered. Several people claim to be non-crafty, so I knew I needed a project that anyone could do. This was it — all it requires are strips of paper and a stapler – easy!! I saw the idea over at DesignSponge, where you’ll find the tutorial:
The fun of creating in groups – – first off, Kate was working on a different project for the craft competition she’s in – – but crafting had her all kinked up (I guess we’re getting old!) and couch-bound to stretch out – –
Maybe half a dozen of us made the paper ornaments – easy and fun, and just used scrap paper – – a win win all around.
I know most people were going to use them on their tree. I wanted to make a garland, but then loved the idea on DesignSponge so much that I decided to hang them over my dining room table. Kind of tricky to take pictures because it’s right in front of a mirror – see:
I wish you could come on over and see these hanging for their full in-person effect – I love them!!
And really, YOU CAN do this!! grab some paper and a stapler and friends or kids, and get to crafting!!
Thank you for this tutorial! I was trying to find something to make for our tree. This is super helpful. Love them, they are super cute! Thanks!
This is super cute and I might just have to try it out with some fun colors for some deco in the nursery I’m making!
Thanks!
Wow, Mandy, thank you! Everytime the grandkids come over, they want to craft. This is perfect!
