How to make twisted paper ornaments using clear plastic ornaments and cardstock/paper.
Equipment
Scissors
hot glue gun/glue gun sticks
spray bottle with water
Ingredients
assorted cardstock/scrapbook paper
assorted plastic ornaments
Instructions
Cut your paper/cardstock into 1" strips.
Using your spray bottle, slightly dampen your strips of paper, one at a time.
While the paper is soft and slightly damp, begin to fold and twist each strip. (Be careful not to twist too tight, you don't want to rip or tear the strips.)
Once your strips are twisted, begin by hot-gluing a twist to the top of the ornament. Work your way around gluing the twists on the ornament as tight as you can. You want to keep them close and tight, so you don't see the ornament between them.
Mix and match colors and patterns to create your own unique design.
Once the ornament has been covered, add some ribbon or string to hang.
Notes
Play around with different weights and thicknesses of paper and cardstock. Some will be easier to twist and work with than others.Inspired by a craft tutorial found on JOANN.com
