DIY Christmas ornament

Here is another christmas ornament that is even easier to make! It is really pretty and It isn't as ugly as the egg ornament. I did the egg ornament when I was really bored. lol. Anyways, let's start!

1. Cut out 5 strips of paper. 1 short (8 cm), 2 medium (10 cm), and 2 long (12 cm).

2. Staple the ends together. Remember, all the ENDS of each strip. Not just the end of the shortest strip.

New DIY Christmas calendar

New update! I just made a new DIY calendar and it is way better! It looks nicer too! If you want to know about why I decided to make homemade Christmas calendars, you can read the first paragraph of my old post on DIY CHristmas calendars! Let's start!

Things you will need:
-Glue
-Tape
-Paper cutting mat
-Paper cutting knife
-Scissors
-Markers
-Pencil crayons
-Pencil
-Wrapping paper
-Printer
-2 papers

1. Print out template. You don't need a colour printer.

2. Cut out 3 sides of each square to make flaps. The flaps should open like windows. This step should be down with a paper cutting knife and mat. (I used a mouse pad instead of a paper cutting mat because I couldn't find one, and I got in trouble!)

3. Cut out the star and decorate it anyway you like.

4. Cut out a tree sheep with two sheets of paper.

5. Use it as a tracer and cut out the tree shape on wrapping paper.

6. Glue the squares on the tree without glueing down the flaps. Then, glue the star on top.

7. Tape treats on the inside of each flap. Then, tape the best treat on the back of the star.

8. Hang the calendar on the wall of your house and take one treat everyday until christmas day.
