I started making these simple little ornaments for my Etsy shop, and people seem to love them! They make great gifts for people who love books. But really, you could use any type of paper. Go crazy!
Cost: Less than $3 (if you already have Mod Podge!)
Difficulty level: Easy, but messy
You Need:
Plastic, clear ornaments ($1 each at Michael's right now)
Book pages or other paper
Mod Podge & applicator
Scissors
Glitter is optional, but always encouraged ;)
Prep: cut up a few pages into thin strips so they are ready to go.
Step One: apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to the ornament. Then lay on 1 or 2 strips of paper.
Step Two:
Apply another thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the strips.
>>>>Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've covered the whole ornament<<<<
Step Three:
Let the ornaments dry completely. If you want, you can spray them down with spray glitter. Just go outside first!
You'll probably also want to add a hanger, I just used some random black ribbon.
I made mine out of a recycled Harry Potter book. If you like that idea, but don't want to cut up your books, you can buy one from me here: Kayleigh's Etsy Shop
*Mention the blog at checkout, and I'll refund your shipping price!
