CHRISTMAS CARD TREE ORNAMENT

You will need:
 
  • Some old Christmas cards
  • Glue
  • A pair of scissors
  • Some cardboard
  • Some coloured thread or ribbon.
   

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Make two templates, one a circular disk and the other a triangle, out of firm cardboard.
  2. Take some old Christmas cards and cut out eight circular disks using the template
    (see fig. 1).
  3. Place the triangular template on each disk and fold along the edges such that the printed side is on the inside for each disk (see fig.2).
  4. Take four of the disks and glue the folded edges as shown. Repeat with the other four disks. Each of these sets of four disks makes up one half of the ornament (see fig. 3).
  5. Glue the two "halves" together at the remaining tabs.
  6. Insert a string or some yarn through one of the tabs and hang the ornament on your Christmas tree.
Now hang it on your tree and have a Merry Christmas !
