Steps

  • Step 1

    To get started, cover your craft surface with newspaper. Wear a smock. Draw matching pairs of shapes on paper. Use your imagination or trace cookie cutter shapes with Crayola Coloured Pencils.

  • Step 2

    Cut out the shapes with your Crayola Scissors. Children 3 years and younger can tear their shapes.

  • Step 3

    Decorate both sides of each paper shape using one of these techniques: - Color the entire surface with a heavy layer of Crayola Crayon. Use a paper towel to rub the wax so it shines. - Create bright designs with Crayola Markers, Crayons, or Coloured Pencils. Combine two or three different ones for unusual effects.

  • Step 4

    Arrange your decorated shapes in pairs. On one shape, cut a slit from the top down to the centre. Cut a slit in the matching shape from the bottom up to the centre.

  • Step 5

    Fit shapes together by sliding slits over each other. Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top of the ornament and tie with ribbon.
