Paper Strip Ball Ornament

Paper strips gathered with brads form a easy and pretty paper strip circular Christmas ornament | SuzerSpace.com

This is the fifth of 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’m really a simple crafter. Upcycle projects make me happy. Kids crafts litter my Pinterest boards. And turning strips of scrap paper into Christmas Ornaments is my new obsession.

The possibilities are nearly endless – thicker strips make a more covered ball, while thinner ones make a more open design. Do them all in the same paper, or mix it up.

This is also a great craft for your little helpers.

When I thought up this idea of making an ornament a month so that I’d have twelve different types for my paper decorated tree, I really didn’t think I’d be crafting snowflakes at the craft table with snow falling outside in April.

But here we are 🙂

Paper Christmas Tree Ornament

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!

Valentine Craft Roundup

Three great projects for Valentine's Day - faux watercolor, typographic heart garlands and a polka dot gift card holder | SuzerSpace.com

I’ve realized that every year I say I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day, and then every year some craft comes around that I just have to try, and sure enough, I’ve decorated for the holiday.

This year, three projects made their way into my crafterday afternoons:

Faux watercolor cards. While technically not a Valentine’s Craft, I combined this technique with my favorite thing – a pun – to make a cheery card. This also let me work on my brush lettering and doodling challenges that I’m doing this year.

Faux watercolor and doodling create a punny Valentine's Card! | suzerspace.com This super cute garland tugged at my tyopography heart strings. The original post features a different technique; I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the large letter “U” to make my hearts. (It’s Helvetica Neu Bold Condensed if you are keeping score at home). Strung with red and white baker’s twine, it looks happy over my fireplace.
