I remember those gum wrapper chains... and the fortune telling box... and the "footballs"... all fun to fold and distract classmates with.😂 These are the scaled up version of all that fun!
I’m so glad she will be making them, they really are fun to see what you end up with when using different papers. I made a couple last week using some patterned paper that had foiling in it and they turned out so pretty! I gave those away but told myself I’m going to create some more to hang in my entryway!
Have fun with these... they are really versatile with whatever season/paper you want to use. I bet your little crafters would have fun doing this with you should you decide to have some "crafting with mom" time.
Super cute! I have never made anything like this. I remember my daughters made ornaments at school similar to these. They put a picture in the center of their little face. Love this idea! TFS 🥰👍👍👏👏👏
They will have so much fun crafting with you and you with them! These are simple to create but can be so personalized and each one unique. Wishing you so much joy on this project!🤗🤗🤗
That makes me so happy you like these. Welcome to the channel, I hope you find lots of fun and inspiration here. I make so many of these ornaments using different papers and I'm tickled that you made some, too! Thank you for this great comment, you made my day!
Thanks Emily... Yes, I agree, not just for Christmas... I made a couple yesterday out of leftover Halloween paper... I'm going to hang a garland on my mantel and then hang these off the garland to add a little Halloween flair in the living this coming October.🤗
Thank you Sylvia! Would you like to see more folded paper crafts or do you mean paper crafting in general? Let me know and I will add to my lineup accordingly (I'm a couple of months out on my scheduled topics right now, but let me know for future videos).
Thank you for watching. Yes, excellent point, a lighter paper for practice is a fantastic idea! I hadn’t thought to say that but agree 100%. Thank you for posting this, hopefully others will find this helpful, too.
I'm tickled you found the video helpful. I just made some for Valentine's Day because I thought I was going to set up a "tree" (aka: branch in a vase) to hang them on, but the tree idea didn't work. The branch I spray painted white got crushed in the garage... he claims he "didn't see it there" but I have my suspicions. 😂 Now I have to come up with a plan B for the pink and red heart decorated ornaments I folded.
I’m so glad you like it.🤗🥰🤗 I think I’m going to create some Thanksgiving themed ones to hang on a banner string on the mantle in the living room. I always have stuff on the top of the mantle (gourds, pumpkins, fall leaves, etc.) but I want to bring the sight line down a bit from simply what’s on the mantle.
Thank you so much Vic, with your talent for coloring I bet you could embellish these little wreaths with so many cute characters to match whatever patterned paper you choose.🤗
Thank you for watching and for your constructive comment. Yes, I will definitely try to bring the camera in tighter on future folded paper projects. Let me know how it goes with your ornaments, I'm in the process of making some black/silver/gold ones my friend has asked for (she is having a New Year's Eve party).
@@jeanchristie3867 You were not a "pain" at all! I always appreciate comments on my videos, that is what helps me learn and improve. Enjoy your weekend.
This is a beautiful Christmas ornament. I can’t seem to put it together after folding all eight papers. I can’t see exactly how you are attaching them. Maybe it’s just me but I would love to make this!
Vicki, this message just now popped into my inbox!😳 I don’t know what happened but I am so sorry… I would have answered sooner had your comment gotten to me in a timely manner. Did you ever get your pieces to fit together? I hope so. Again m I’m so sorry I didn’t respond sooner.
For the ornaments in this video I used 65# cardstock. I prefer to use the 65# or 80# because it folds easier but is also stiff enough to hold its shape. I have done them with gift wrapping paper, and they are easier to fold, but not as sturdy. I made a couple using 110# cardstock but my hands got tired folding that heavy of paper (although they held together really well and had some heft to them). Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.🤗
Sehr viel teils überflüssiges Gerede, aber da wo es drauf ankommt, das Ineinanderstecken, wird es nicht richtig erklärt. Die Kamera ist zu weit weg, man sieht es nicht richtig. Schade ☹️
Oh no, I’m sorry they are giving you trouble Margaret. When I was first learning to make these I made them with lightweight easy to fold copy paper. After I got used to the folds I moved up to thicker patterned paper. Is there anything I can do to help?

I can’t wait to try these! And I’d love to see more paper crafts!
Thank you for watching! I have some fun paper crafts scheduled to make videos for so I hope you like those, too. Keep in touch.🤗💜
💙 I've been looking for ways to use up my paper and gifts for my aunts. It's perfect.
I'm so glad you found this helpful, that makes me happy! Thank you for watching.
Such a great idea. Would be great to use up all that extra holiday paper!
Thank you Teri. I bet you could create one of these for a tag, too!😉
I haven't made these in a while, thanks for the reminder. I like doing them from old book pages.
I bet old book pages are gorgeous folded like this. I’m going to have to try that. Excellent idea!
Oh my goodness…this reminded me of when we used to use gum wrappers to make different kinds of goodies 😊
Thanks for bringing back to my childhood ❤
I remember those gum wrapper chains... and the fortune telling box... and the "footballs"... all fun to fold and distract classmates with.😂 These are the scaled up version of all that fun!
What a fun ornament! My daughter will be busy making those for her friends! Thank you.

What an inspiring folded paper ornament. Thank you for sharing!
@@JMPaglio Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your encouraging comment.
Really cute. Great idea to try! I remember making gum wrapper chains, but we never made wreaths. ❤️
Have fun with these... they are really versatile with whatever season/paper you want to use. I bet your little crafters would have fun doing this with you should you decide to have some "crafting with mom" time.
thank you for sharing,Such a fantastic video my friend keep up the amazing work 👍 happy Sunday dear friend 🥰🌟❤
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment.🤗
Love these Christmas ornaments. Great card idea, too!
@@DawnStewart-dlstewart Thank you! I hope you enjoy creating them.
Super cute! I have never made anything like this. I remember my daughters made ornaments at school similar to these. They put a picture in the center of their little face. Love this idea! TFS 🥰👍👍👏👏👏
I love the idea of putting a photo in the center of these! That would make a fun gift to create with my grandchildren for their Mommy and Daddy!
Love this easy craft
Great project! I will have to do a craft day with the grandkids and make some of these. Thank you for sharing this technique.
I'm tickled you enjoyed this one... please let me know how your craft day goes! I bet you will have lots of fun with them.
Thank you. I am going to do these with my grandbabies.
They will have so much fun crafting with you and you with them! These are simple to create but can be so personalized and each one unique. Wishing you so much joy on this project!🤗🤗🤗
Excellent Sooo Nice Sharing Friend 😊 Watching 👀 Your Good Work 👌 See You Around Greetings
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment.
oh my word I love this, just made one and its gorgeous, thank you for sharing. I've just subscribed to your channel too!

Oh wow thanks for sharing this. I could use this with all kinds of different pattern paper doesn't have to be for Christmas. Tfs💜

This is new to me, hope to see more. Thank You for sharing.

@@PaperGlueFun Would like to see more folded paper crafts.
@@sylviamontalvo5352 Ok… will do!😊 Thank you for the suggestion.🤗
Great project. For new paper crafters, it might be easier to experiment with 24 lb. paper first befor moving on to heavier paper. Nice tutorial.
Thank you for watching. Yes, excellent point, a lighter paper for practice is a fantastic idea! I hadn’t thought to say that but agree 100%. Thank you for posting this, hopefully others will find this helpful, too.
@@PaperGlueFun Thank you for your kind reply.
Thanks for sharing! Great tutorial. I made a couple for Christmas and they were a big hit!! I did use a dab of glue at each point just for extra hold.
I'm tickled you found the video helpful. I just made some for Valentine's Day because I thought I was going to set up a "tree" (aka: branch in a vase) to hang them on, but the tree idea didn't work.

@@PaperGlueFun Men!! 🤣😂 Good luck with a Plan B!
Thanks for this! Such a versatile technique!
