These simple yet sophisticated decorations are made from cardboard tubes and pipe cleaners. Paint the outsides of the tubes before cutting them, if desired, or keep them unpainted for a natural look.
Materials
- Cardboard tubes
- Pipe cleaners
- Ruler
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Thread or string
Instructions
- For each ornament, flatten a 7 1/2-inch length of cardboard tube. Mark and cut it into 3/4-inch-wide rings; you'll need 10 for this project.
- On each flattened ring, mark dots 3/4 inches in from each folded edge. With a hole punch, make holes at the dots.
- Starting with the inner circle, string the rings onto a pipe cleaner. For the outer circle, twist two pipe cleaners together to make a double-long piece, then thread it through the outer holes in the cardboard rings. Twist the ends together and trim the excess. Hang with thread or string.
