How to Make

  1. Firstly, select your favourite Christmas cards.
  2. Then using the circle template, draw and cut out 20 identical circles (or use a compass).
  3. Cut out the equilateral triangle from the template (or draw and cut out your own).
  4. Place the equilateral triangle in the centre of the circle and draw around it.
  5. Fold along the lines of the triangle asking an adult to help score across the lines will make it easier to fold. Repeat this for each circle.
  6. Stick the folded edges together using a glue stick. If you stick 5 together in a circle shape it’ll start to form a dome, then you can continue to form the sphere.
  7. Before finishing the ornament, cut a length of ribbon, tie a knot, and stick it inside.
  8. Continue to stick all the folded sides together until the sphere is formed.
