A video tutorial on how to make a Christmas card ornament with paper. www.paperpleasing.typepad.com

I am looking for ideas for a homemade christmas tree ornament that is light weight that I can send with/inside my christmas cards. Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

at craft stores, you can buy thin, almost paper like foam that you can trim into christmas shapes.
Using stencils (make them yourself on paper then trace them onto the foam and cut them out)
make a small hole in the top and tie string (gold or silver if you can find it) through it.....voila, ornament.

Or, using thin boxboard (like the boxes used to package frozen foods) cut out tree, snowflake, etc shapes.
get the appropriate colored yarn (or use flattened cotton balls for snowmen) and glue onto both sides of the boxboard until completely covered. tie with string at top to hang.

one more...buy feathers....really fine fluffy ones are best...glue three feathers (quill ends together in the sape of a cross)...use a fourth feather for the body if it's not wide enough. buy tiny styrofoam or wooden balls at the craft store and paint/draw a face on them. stick them onto the quills in the middle as a head. use silver/gold pipe cleaner or wire for halo....
have fun!

I am making my own Christmas cards and I have stamped Christmas ball ornaments but i want them to glitter what is out there i can use? Now mind you I have already stamped on the card and it looks great but I want them to stick out a little bit..like glitter.

You can buy sheets of double sided tape. Cut out the shape of your ball and lay it over the image on your card. Remove the backing and shake glitter over the tape. Voila! All done.

You can also use this technique and use multiple colors of glitter by not removing the entire backing. Just score it with an exacto knife where you want "white" and put white on there. Remove the remainder of the backing and put "red" there... etc.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
