Paper Christmas Tree Ornament

This is one in a series of twelve paper ornaments I’m making this year, one a month so that when December rolls around, I won’t be surprised to discover I’ve done nothing about my wish to have a fully paper crafted Christmas Tree.

When it comes to Christmas tree lights, you are either on Team All White, or Team All The Colors. While both have their pros and cons, it’s rare you find someone who switches it up year to year.

We’ve always been Team All The Colors at SuzerSpace, and the bigger the bulb, the better.

EASY TO MAKE PAPER STRIP ORNAMENT

This is one in a series of twelve paper ornaments I’m making this year, one a month so that when December rolls around, I won’t be surprised to discover I’ve done nothing about my wish to have a fully paper crafted Christmas Tree.

I’ve mentioned before that I really like the look of glitter but I don’t like the aftermath (craftermath?). No matter how careful you are, glitter spreads throughout the house, appearing in unlikely places like the ice cube tray and your significant other’s toothbrush. Side note – he never appreciates it.

In the past, I’ve taken to using digital glitter backgrounds provided by some very generous designers.

But the other day, it occurred to me that I probably could make my own, especially if someone gave me the digital recipe, like the tutorial I found that time for gingerbread letters.

Sure enough, I found a really easy and straightforward tutorial. And now I can have glittery images, any color I want, just by choosing it in my Photoshop color picker.

Once I had the technique down, I knew instantly what I needed it for. Glittery Snowflake Ornaments for my tree!

Paper Strip Ornament

For a couple of years now, I’ve had the vision of setting up a second Christmas Tree that would feature all hand made ornaments.

Every year it sounds super great idea. And every holiday season passes and I’ve done nothing about it.

Sound familiar?

This year I’ve decided to tackle this as a solid project. I’m going to make one different type of ornament a month for 12 months. Since most will be made out of paper, it will be easy to make multiples to fill a small tree.

For the record, I’m saying this all out loud, right here, for accountability.

And I’m inviting you to play along. This will be fun, or weird, especially in August when we’re working on ornaments and complaining about the lack of air condtioning.

First up is this super simple ornament.
