SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

  • Assorted cardstock
  • Paper cutter
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun/glue gun sticks
  • Spray bottle with water
  • Assorted plastic ornaments

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Cut your paper/cardstock into 1" strips.
  2. Using your spray bottle, slightly dampen your strips of paper, one at a time.
  3. While the paper is soft and slightly damp, begin to fold and twist each strip. (Be careful not to twist too tight, you don't want to rip or tear the strips.)
  4. Once your strips are twisted, begin by hot gluing a twist to the top of the ornament. Work your way around gluing the twists on the ornament as tight as you can. You want to keep them close and tight, so you don't see the ornament between.
  5. Mix and match colors and patterns to create your own unique design.
  6. Once the ornament has been covered, add some ribbon or string to hang.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

  • Play around with different weights and thickness of paper and cardstock. Some will be easier to twist and work with than others.
