This project is best for older kids. The paper strips are small and the ornaments are made of glass. That said, I had a good time making mine!
Supplies Needed:
Clear glass ornament
Printed Christmas carol lyrics
Scissors
Yarn or ribbon
Printer and ink
Google search for the lyrics of the Christmas carol of your choice. Here’s a good place to start. I chose Joy to the World. Copy and paste the lyrics into a word document and change the font size and color. I found that 18 point font is about the right size. Print two copies of the lyrics.
Cut the lines into strips and trim off the extra white paper. Bend, but do not crease, the first strip and slip it through the mouth of the ornament, center first. Repeat with every strip. The strips will open up and lie against the inside of the glass ball. If, after two copies, you don’t think your ornament is full enough, print another copy and keep adding strips.
Hang your ornament and enjoy!
Great craft! Thanks! Cristie
