Candy cane
One of our favorite ornaments to make is the candy cane. To make this ornament, you will need:
-red and white striped paper
-scissors
-glue
-a pencil
-a straw
First, cut a strip of red and white striped paper. Then, fold it in half lengthwise and glue the edges together. Next, use a pencil to roll the paper into a tube shape. Once you have rolled the entire strip of paper, glue the ends together to form a loop. Finally, bend one end of the loop to form a candy cane shape. Attach a straw to the back of the ornament so that it can hang from the tree. This is such a simple ornament to make, but it looks so cute on the tree.
Snowflake
Another easy ornament to make is the snowflake. To make this ornament, you will need:
-white paper
-scissors
-glue
-a pencil
First, cut a piece of white paper into a square shape. Then, fold the paper in half diagonally and then in half again. Next, use scissors to cut along the folded edges of the paper, being careful not to cut all the way through. Once you have made several cuts, unfold the paper and glue the edges together. Finally, use a pencil to curl each point of the snowflake. This is a simple ornament to make, and it looks so beautiful on the tree.
