5 Thursdays Until Christmas ~ Patterned Paper Postcard Ornaments

Hi, Sweet Friends!

There are only 5 Thursdays Until Christmas! For some of you, this is no trouble and you never may give it a thought until this week of Christmas.

However, many of you are looking at these weeks before Christmas and making your decorations, creating gifts, and making foods to freeze, can, and give away. It is a busy time in our house from August to Christmas!

This is the 5th of 16 posts will be on making Paper Postcard Ornaments.

2. Place the patterned paper shapes on the brown paper or cardstock and trace out the postcard.

3. Cut out the drawn rectangle of brown paper or cardstock.

4. Glue the Postcard patterned paper to the brown cardstock.

5. Let the squares dry and clip a mini clothespin to the top of each shape, as shown below.

6. Use the ink pads to add color to the postcards, and around the edges to highlight.

7. Cut 6 pieces of twine/string 3" long.

Now they are ready to hang on the Christmas Tree!
