My passion for pretty papers goes way back, but I confess that when washi tape first became popular, I didn’t immediately fall in love – it’s not too late, though! I had so much fun combining patterns and colors to make these pretty ornaments. These lovely decorations are quick to make, and I will be bringing this project to work for our holiday party. I also made a personalized version of these ornaments with kids’ names inside.

To make these ornaments, I used

• Clear Plastic Ball Ornaments
• 2.25-Inch Circle Paper Punch
• Scrapbook paper. This is a great project for using small leftover pieces of paper
• Washi tape and other embellishments
• Glue stick
• Ribbon for hanging

The process is very simple:

• I then cut out two circles in matching paper and glued then back-to-back
• I then added washi tape or other paper scraps to decorate the ornament
• These circles fit perfectly into the ornaments, which snap together
• Add a ribbon for hanging and you’re done!

Go crazy with the paper (I did!) and have fun!!
