WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 Coffee cup wrapper
Scissors
Hole punch
Ribbon
Pipe cleaner
Photo
Glue
Green spray paint
HOW TO MAKE IT:
To get started you want to cut out a circle the coffee cup wrapper. This should be about 2 to 3 inches by 2 to 3 inches. I make my Wreath as tall as the wrapper is.
Some wrappers are not straight across. Use the existing details on the coffee cup wrapper to add a fun detail to the top of the recycled Christmas tree Wreath ornament.
Now, fold the small square in half and then trim out the center of the Christmas ornament frame. Leave the frame of the Wreath ornament intact.
Make sure the frame is thick enough to make a few holes in it, and then take out the center of the ornament.
You can use a hole punch to punch two holes in the bottom of the Christmas frame. In the top you will need one hole to hold the hook.
Now, take a piece of red ribbon or pipe clear and insert the ends through the hole from behind the Christmas tree Wreath ornament. Tie the ends in a bow in the front. Use the scissors to cut the ends to down.
Now, use a piece of black white, green, or red pipe cleaner to make a hook. You can use a metal hook if you want or even tie a ribbon to make a large loop.
Loop the green pipe cleaner hook through the top hole and twist to hold in place.
Now, cut out a small photo to fit the ornament frame. Run some white glue on the back of the Christmas frame Wreath ornament. Set your family photo into place.
At this point you need to let the glue dry.
Thes simple Christmas ornament Wreath frames is so easy to make and look great hanging on the tree.
If you want you can also spray paint the ribbed cup wrapper green or white to add a touch of color to your Christmas tree.
Tip: If you do not have any left over coffee cup wrappers to make this recycled Christmas craft ornament, and then try using an empty or old food box. They are usually brown on the inside as well.
