Here's a quick paper-folding technique that makes great use of those gift wrap scraps that are just too pretty to throw away.
Materials
- Gift wrap
- Decorative craft scissors (optional)
- Stapler
- Clear tape
- Pushpin
- Monofilament
Instructions
1. Cut a 4 1/2- by 10 1/2-inch rectangle from the gift wrap. Accordion-fold the paper as shown, making the pleats 1/2 inch wide.
2. Staple the folded paper across the center. Then bring together the ends on each side of the staple, taping the joints on the unprinted sides.
3. Use a pushpin to poke a hole through the tape at the top of the ornament. Thread a 10-inch length of monofilament through it and then knot the ends to form a loop for hanging.
