This year my Christmas tree was looking BARE. This is my first holiday season in my new home and I wanted some fresh decorations. I decided to create these DIY Honeycomb Paper Ornaments for my tree that I’m obsessed with! After seeing versions of these ornaments at Target, West Elm, McGee & Co., as well as several other popular retailers, I knew I had to try to make some of my own at home with my Cricut machine.
It’s important to know that this project is way easier and faster if you have a Cricut cutting machine. It can also be done if you have a regular computer printer at home, but it does take a little bit more patience.
Supplies:
- Downloadable Ornament File
- Cricut Machine or Printer
- 12 x 12 Card-Stock (for Cricut users)
- 8.5 x 11 Card-Stock (for printer users)
- Paper Glue (with a fine tip)
- Printer Paper
- Scissors
- Paint Brush
- Paper Towel
- Straight Edge (I used a piece of scrap wood)
- Clamps
- Cording
- Beads
- Large Yarn Needle
