How To Make A Recycled Thanks Giving Decor: Paper Ball Ornaments

10/12/2011

25 Comments

 
Want a simple and easy to do decoration for thanks giving with no cost? These paper ball ornaments are just perfect for you. This is totally all recycling. So, there is no need to spend money to have a splendid decorations in your house. Reminder: Kids can create all of these crafts with the help of an adult and some safety scissors.

Materials:
  • Old papers/magazines
  • Wires (or you can use brads if you have)
  • Scissors
  • Pliers
Picture
Procedures:
1. Measure  ½" x 6" on old magazines and cut your paper into 20 strips.

2. Punch holes 1/8" from edge on both ends of paper strips. Nails or pins can be used to make holes. (You can also use punch hole to make it easier)
Picture
3. If you don't have brads, take 2 pieces of wires with 2" length. Fold it into half and twist each wire at the middle with a hole at the center as shown at the picture.  (or you can use brads to skip this step)

4. Put this  in each end of your punched paper strip stack. Spread the end of the wires to secure the paper strip stack.

5. Starting with the strip on the bottom, twist it out to begin to unfold the paper ball.

6. Twist out each strip individually in order from bottom to top of paper strip stack.

7. Arrange the strip until you form a ball! Now, you have your paper ball ornament.

Tips:
You can make more paper balls with different color to make a center piece or other decorations. You can stack all the balls in a string to make a garland. You can arrange them also on your liking to make a good decor. Take a look of  what I did as a decor for Thanks Giving.

I added some dried leaves and pine cones from the backyard, plastic leaves and put them together on a glass vase. This is good as a decoration in your house.

You can also arrange them in a plate and put your paper ball ornament with some leaves. This is good as center pieces of tables for party.

Hope you had fun! Happy Thanks Giving!

You've made something out of waste materials. And this is recycling of used things for more usability like decors. I like your idea. I will introduce this to our pupils in the school.
