This week we are making ornaments for the holidays! I have a big variety of ornaments to choose from, so I hope you'll join me! You will find pictures and details below - if you plan on coming please make sure you have the supplies listed with each ornament you want to make.
***
Please bring scissors and adhesive (gluestick or tape runner will work - for the honeycomb ornament you will need mini gluedots). You are welcome to bring your own paper, but I also have a huge supply of patterned papers and solid cardstock on hand to purchase for $0.75 per 12x12 sheet. I have listed below how much paper is needed for each ornament. I will also have accessories and embelishments available to purchase to put the finishing touches on your ornaments, but you are welcome to bring your own as well. Ribbons, buttons, sparkles, glitter, etc.

Here are some pictures of some of the different types of ornaments I can teach you to make - all from paper!
An old favorite - German Stars
You can create one star with less than 1/2 of a sheet of paper
A new favorite - Honeycomb (you will need a package of permanent mini glue dots for this ornament, it takes 126 for each ornament, and this one takes at least 2 sheets of lightweight 12x12 paper if you are bringing your own)
Wreaths
To create one wreath you will need one full 12x12 sheet of paper, or two 1/2 sheets of paper in two coordinating colors
These are perfect for a picture on one side...
...and the year stamped on the other side.
3-D Balls and Boxes
Balls take about 1/2 sheet of cardstock and about 1/2 sheet of lightweight/patterned paper.
To create a 2 1/4" box you will need a 12x6 sheet of paper - any type will do.
Old Christmas cards work well, too.
and YoYos (pictured on the right)
For a 4" YoYo you will need about 1/2 a sheet of paper - any type will do.
