Paper Tree Ornaments
Looking for a quick Christmas ornament?
Well, here you go…
You cant get any easier than this.
I grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and traced a circle on several sheets of double sided cardstock and then cut out.
Then I used a paper cutter to cut the circles in half.
I folded one corner like this, a little overlapping – I like that look!
Then take that overlapped corner and fold it back flush with the edge.
Flip the paper over and fold the long side over, forming a triangle.
And there you have it, a decorative paper tree.
Now get out your stash of embellishments & glitter and decorate.
Don`t forget to add a tree trunk using up your scrap paper.
Hole punch near the top & thread pretty twine for hangers.
So quick & so lovely!
Thanks for visiting & keep close by for many more Christmas crafts to come.
But for now, here’s what I’ve shared so far this year…

So cute, and simple! A great way to use up any stranglers of paper that just don’t go with anything else (I like my two pages in scrapbooks to match eachother.. maybe a little ocd…)
My favorite tree you made is the one with the red glitter scalloped edges.

Hi Sarah,
I just wanted to let you know that my daughter and I just loved your paper tree ornaments. She miniaturized them, making them out of 3-inch circles and we used them as tags. I wrote a post that will be up tomorrow linking back to your post. Thanks so much for the fun idea! Merry Christmas!
