Homemade Christmas Baubles

Large Christmas ornaments can get very expensive very fast, but sometimes a tree needs something with some size! While contemplating how I would decorate my “Book Advent Calendar Tree” I decided paper baubles were just the thing!

Each bauble will need at least 8 cardstock shapes, I used circles but an oval, or a tear drop would look, great too. The good thing about making your own ornament is that you can make it any size you want. I didn’t have a lot of paper that was the exact same and I wanted my ornaments to be the same so I made my shapes as large as I could while using the least amount of paper. I was able to fit four 5 ¾ inch circles on each of my 12×12 pieces of paper (if you have a Cricut you will need to make your shapes 5 ½ inches in order to fit 4 to a page).

Step 1: Cut out 8 shapes of the same size. (To go with my book theme I cut 2 circles out of an old book to attach to 2 of the solid colored circles. Patterned paper looks great too!)
