Good morning SCT friends…and new friends! It’s been such a pleasure reading your wonderful holiday memories. Your excitement for our “12 Days” event always warms our hearts and while today we cannot offer your “5 golden rings,” as fellow papercrafters we would take today’s prizes instead! Before we get to those, we’re happy to have creative team member Meghann Andrew here sharing some beautiful handcrafted tree ornaments. Take it away Meghann…
“Hello there! It’s Meghann Andrew with you today, and I’m excited to be here during SCT’s 12 Days of Holiday Giving!
During the holiday season, our creative time may be short and sweet, so I’m here to share some quick and easy ornaments made from your favorite paper crafting supplies! Not only do these look great hanging on a Christmas tree, they also make great toppers for wrapped gifts.
The first super-simple ornament can be made in just minutes with spare strips of paper and layers of embellishment! To begin, I took two 8″ lengths of 1-1/4″ wide patterned paper and scored them at half-inch increments on a scoring board. After I accordion-folded them, I glued the ends together, then formed the fan shape, and to hold it together, hot-glued it to a paper punched circle on the back side. Then, I hot-glued two short lengths of red ribbon and a wooden circle to the top, along with a red vellum snowflake, and a chipboard star. Layering is definitely the way to go on this ornament type, and be sure to watch the dollar bin at your favorite store for little bits, like the wooden piece, that makes this ornament look as great as one bought in a high-end shop!
The next ornament is a perfect keepsake gift for someone you love, or a beautiful memory to hang on the tree! I started with a Polaroid-style metal die and a scrap of patterned paper to create the shape on the front. Using that as a guide, I then cut a piece of chipboard to the same size to give the ornament some weight, and another piece of the same patterned paper to cover the back, without the photo holes in the center on both pieces. I glued the full-piece of patterned paper to the back side of the chipboard, then printed my photo at 3″ x 3″ before adhering it to the front side of the chipboard, using my Polaroid-style die cut as a guide before adhering that on the top. To finish off the ornament, I added a die-cut pennant, snowflake, the “merry” sticker and an acrylic star, just like I would layer my embellishment on a scrapbook layout or card.
The final ornament is the simplest to create. Using a punch, metal die or electronic die-cut file, find a shape that is a mirror image when folded down the center—exactly the same on both sides. I found a perfect Christmas tree shape to use, and die-cut it with patterned paper at a 5″ height three times. You can also use more shapes to give this ornament type more sides and a deeper three-dimensional effect. Using a scoring board, I scored each down the center and folded the sides in before adding adhesive to the back side. I then adhered the three pieces together to create a three-dimensional shape, by adhering the right side of one tree to the left side of the next, and so on until all three adhered together. At this point, I used a Crop-a-Dile to punch a hole in the top before moving to my next step. Next, I added a thin strip of glue to the edges on all sides, sprinkling a fun green tinsel glitter to the tree. Lastly, once the glue was dry, I threaded baker’s twine through the hole and added a simple “Merry Christmas” tag and a jingle bell.
I hope these sweet and simple ornaments will inspire you to give a simple and easy handmade gift this holiday season! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all!” ~ Meghann Andrew

Love the special handmade ornaments for the tree. Most of the ones on my big tree are special ones that have been hand crafted over the years. You don’t realize how important these handcrafted treasures are until the people who made them aren’t with us anymore. Every year when I unwrap them and hang these baubles on the tree it feels like a sweet ‘Merry Christmas’ from someone who loved us. Make, share and treasure! Someday you will be glad you did. 🙂
These are amazing. I am so making them

Sweet ornament ideas! My favorite is the tree! I hadn’t seen the Carousel paper yet and I’m loving the colors – all mysteriously favorites!
Cute ornaments!
I love that idea- and anything that uses up those extra paper strips is awesome!
Thank you for the ornament ideas. I love photo ornaments and the polaroid frame is an idea I wil definitely use! Every year we add something new to our tree which is decorated with homemade or souvenir ornaments. We have beaded ornaments crafted by my late mother in law and beautiful handmade ornaments from my sister as well as ornaments made by our 5 kids from the time they were toddlers thru grammar school and ornaments they picked up for our tree on their travels once they were grown. We now have 7 grandchildren and our tree is a walk down memory lane for everybody. The grandkids love to see the ornaments made by their parents when they were in school, visitors are intrigued by the ornaments commemorating different events and ask to hear the stories. It’s so much fun to relive so many memories and loved ones who are no longer with us as we put the ornaments up.
Great & easy ornament ideas! My friends always get a homemade something, and I would use these!
I love hand made Christmas ornaments! This year one of my colleagues was looking for ideas like this for an ornament exchange she had to go to, all of them had to be hand crafted. These would have been perfect.
Have made several ornaments this year, all given away now. Thanks for the opportunity to win these great gives.
Fabulous ornaments, I especially love the photo one! A great gift idea 🙂
Love the giveaway products, especially the nativity and desert ones. Thanks for offering them for the SB&CT giveaway. Would love to win & try out all the new ideas.
