I made these ornaments last year and they were fun and very simple to make. Plus, you can really add your own touch by adjusting the size, colors or even adding some hanging beads. Here is a quick tutorial to show you how to make your own.

Materials needed

Yarn
Bendable Cardboard (I found that cereal box works best)
Scissors
Decorative Paper
Tape
Glue
Crochet hook
Beads or any other embellishing desired.

Directions

1. Cut out three rounded edge diamond shapes from the cereal box cardboard. You can cut different sizes to make different shapes.

2. Cut out paper to cover the cardboard that is the same shape. Glue to the cardboard.

3. Tape together the diamonds starting on the sides and moving up to the point. It will form a 3-D diamond shape eventually. Don’t worry about it showing too much tape because you are going to cover this with yarn.

4. Make a single crochet chain long enough to go along the edges of the ornament. Then glue around the edges.

5. Now decorate as desired, have fun with it! I am planning on making more this year with dangling beads or maybe modge podge a few. Happy ornament making!
