Christmas garlands are not just for tree-trimming anymore…your kids can make this simple DIY paper ornament garland that can hang over the mantle, along the staircase, or even in their own room to add some holiday cheer! The cool thing about this design is that it has a spherical ornament shape that’s able to hang flat against the wall. 

If you have enough garlands you can also make a bunch of these and turn them into ornaments for the Christmas tree!

What you’ll need:

• Colored Card stock
• 2” circle punch
• Aleene’s Tacky Glue
• Scissors
• String

1. Punch out two circles of the same color paper.
2. Fold both in half.
3. Glue two halves of each circle together to form a full circle.
4. Cut a ½”-by1” strip of gray paper and fold it in half.
5. Glue the open end to the back to create the ornament hanger. Repeat steps 1 through 5 to make as many ornaments as you’d like.
6. Once the glue is dry, string your thin cord through the loops in the gray paper.
