Ornament From Recyled Christmas Cards

I made these after watching this YouTube video:

I used a paper punch of about 1 1/2 inches instead of the free-motion circle cutter used in the video. I bought one, but using it was very frustrating.

I changed the design to not have the cord go all the way through. I also used tiny binder clips to hold sections together while they were drying.

(My dad and I made the jewelry stand that the ornaments are displayed on. Thanks, Dad!)

Each ornament uses twenty circles that have to be folded, so this is not a quick project. I'd estimate an hour and a half to two hours per ornament, not counting hours cutting out circles. But it is a fun way to use up old Christmas cards.

Enjoy!
