Supplies
- Fronts of old Christmas cards
- Scrap of ribbon about 1 foot long
- Scissors
- Pen or pencil
- Glue stick or white school glue
- Circular object to make the circles. I used a glass here.

|
Step 1
- On the back of the card fronts, trace around the circular object to create a circle.
- Draw eight (8) circles in total.
|
|
Step 2
- Cut out the 8 circles
|
|
Step 3
- fold each circle in half
- make sure to crease the fold well
|
|
Step 4
- fold each half circle in half
- make sure to crease the fold well
|
|
Step 5
- Open each folded circle
- Cut along one fold only to the middle of the circle
|


|
Step 6
- With the circle facing you, put glue on the bottom right section of the circle
- Bring the bottom left over, on top of the bottom right and stick it down
- You have now formed a triangle shape
- Glue all the circles the same.
|
|
Step 7
- Take 2 of the triangle shapes and glue them together.
- Do that 4 times until you have 4 parts.
|

|
Step 8
- Glue 2 parts together to form a half
|

|
Step 9
- Glue the ribbon to the back of one circle
|
|
Step 10
- Glue the back of the ornament to the front
|
|
And that's it! You now have a beautiful recycled Christmas card ornament to hang on your tree or give as a Christmas gift.
