An Easy DIY Twisted Paper Ornament Tutorial (+ Christmas Anagram Print

It may not be our most put together tree but every handmade ornament hung is a labor of love, creativity and intention. It’s perfectly imperfect in every way.

Handmade ornaments just bring so much personality to a humble tree.

I promise, they aren’t hard to make.

You can make classy handmade ornaments that look store bought.

Gorgeous ornaments like this Twisted Paper Ornament.

Allow me to show you just how easy this is to make.

1. Use a ruler to mark 1" sections and cut your paper/cardstock into 1" strips

Work your way around gluing the twists on the ornament as tight as you can.

You want to keep them close and tight, so you don't see the ornament between.

Notes

You will see it's easy to work with thicker cardstock but you can also use printed Christmas scrapbook book paper. You will need to take more care while twisting the paper, and it will take much longer to finish, but the outcome is so worth it!
