I made a few more ornaments for my mostly paper-decorated tree. It's been super gloomy outside, so the corner of the living room with the tree is too dark for picture taking. Imagine these on a silver Christmas tree, instead of hanging from the wooden skewer I taped temporarily to the window sill to obtain maximum natural light. Ha!
To make these paper teardrops,
download the template and print it on colored paper.
Cut out the drops, then fold them in half lengthwise with the printed side facing out. Cut out the hole in the middle.
Align the sides of two pieces and glue them together. Keep gluing in more pieces until the ornament is as full as you like. I used 16 pieces for these, but you could add even more. Then string the ornaments on thread.

Fun ornaments!! I love the way they look both a bit like a geotag, and kinda like vintage honeycomb paper ornaments. :)
Pretty! I noticed the orange one is a bit curved... maybe you could bend each one like that all the way around for a little different look?

Your love of paper ornaments made me think of you when I came across this article... clearly you have some kindred spirits in Dallas! :)
Very pretty - and yes, they are very vintage-style.

This is great! I've been learning about crafting with books and book pages. These would be great done with pages from old books!

Getting ready for a holiday party with a bunch of kids, looking forward to trying out some of your ornament ideas. They're gorgeous and look easy... Thank you for sharing!
What would I do without you. I lovv your blog and I have tried a lot of the crafts with good results. This would look cute in Easter colors for my Easter tree too.
So colourful and cheerful! Hope you have a beautiful Christmas :)
So pretty ! Thank you for sharing.
just curious if you think they could be put together at the tips...6 of them...to be a snowflake of sorts, if done in white. ? I suppose I can try it, but I'm thinking you've already fiddled with the possibilities.
That's a wonderful idea! Thank you!
