DIY Card Stock Ornament

One of my favorite things about the holiday's is crafting. Creating new decorations for my home, creating gifts for family and friends and having fun quality time getting messy with my girls. Here is an easy DIY card stock Christmas tree ornament. 
This craft is fun to sit around the table with a friend or your child and engage in conversations while doing. Appropriate ages for this craft would start around six years. Then again, that is just my wild guess after involving my two and four year daughters in on this more of an adult holiday craft.
 You may hang the ornaments from your tree or anywhere your hear desires. As you can see I hung mine on my dinning room tables center piece.
Supplies needed:          
  • Holiday card stock paper
  • A cup to trace the circles
  • Scissors 
  • Pencil to trace with.
  • Glue stick
  • A thinner yarn
How to step by step:
  1. Trace all the circles you need with the glass.
  2. Cut out all your circles.
  3. Fold all of your circles in half. (fold the ugly side of the card stock facing out.)
  4. You will need at least 6 circles for each ornament. (you can use less or more if you choose to.)
  5. Glue the ugly sides together.
  6. Cut your string and tie a slip knot at the end.
  7. Add the string right before you glue the last folded circle in.
  8. Trim if needed and your done.
