These paper Christmas ornaments are easy and super fun to make! Kids will definitely enjoy making these ornaments! Perfect for a classroom project too.
WHAT KIND OF PAPER SHOULD I USE?
To make these paper Christmas ornaments, I would recommend that you use white card stock. What is card stock? It is a medium-weight paper that’s heavier than a printer paper but is also thinner than cardboard. It also has different kinds of colors.
A lot of people actually use card stock for their crafts. It is perfect for making greeting cards, scrapbooks, handmade boxes, and more. Card stock is made up of a blend of hardwood and softwood fibers & fillers. This is what makes it sturdier.
You can use card stock for this DIY craft or you can also use regular copy paper. However, when using regular copy paper, it will not hold up as well as when using card stock.
HOW SHOULD I COLOR THE PAPER ORNAMENTS?
Kids can use any type of coloring materials for these paper Christmas ornaments. But, here are a couple of ideas for you:
