Forget fragile glass! Paper ornaments are my absolute favorite holiday craft—they’re inexpensive, kid-friendly, and you can create something truly unique. I remember my niece making a set with old sheet music; they were so charming that we still use them years later.

Amazing Christmas Tree Balls Using Paper

The hottest trend right now is 3D geometric ornaments. They look incredibly complex but are surprisingly simple.

Here’s the basic method:

Cut: Use a cutter to cut 10-12 identical circles from sturdy, decorative paper (scrapbooking paper is perfect).

Fold: Fold each circle in half, printed side in.

Glue: Glue the folded halves together, back-to-back, creating a continuous 3D sphere as you go.

Finish: Once dry, punch a hole through one point, thread a ribbon, and you’re done!

The magic is in the paper. Try metallic cardstock for a modern glam look or recycled book pages for a rustic, vintage feel. They’re lightweight, so they hang beautifully without weighing down the branches.
