I adore homemade Christmas ornaments and have quite a collection that the children and I have made over the years. Some of our favourites are our Handprint Angels which look so pretty free-standing or as a tree topper and our super easy homemade Candy Cane craft. You can see all of our Christmas crafts for children here.

This week we’ve been busy crafting some more pretty things to hang on the tree and I have simply fallen in love with our new Paper And Bead Christmas Tree Decorations.  They are so bright and cheerful, and such a simple idea!

How To Make Paper & Bead Homemade Christmas Ornaments

Have fun with paper & beads to make adorable homemade Christmas ornaments. Our paper tree decorations are so simple and pretty and great for children to enjoy making too!

We cut our origami squares into 3 strips, each 5cm wide. If you don’t have origami paper you could always use Christmas wrapping paper instead.

Then we applied glue along one edge and loosely rolled each one up to make a tube. My children found it helpful to roll the paper up around a thick pen.Have fun with paper & beads to make adorable homemade Christmas ornaments.

Once we had a lovely pile of colourful paper tubes we set to work cutting them to different lengths to make a Christmas tree shape.Have fun with paper & beads to make adorable homemade Christmas ornaments.

Then all that was left was to thread them up. My 8 year old managed this fine all by himself but younger children might need a bit of help.

We started with a thread doubled and long enough to go through the whole Christmas tree ornament and have 5 cms or so either end for tying.

We laced a few beads onto the thread first and stopped them falling of  by tying a knot.

Then we laced on each paper tube starting with the biggest.

In between each tube we threaded another bead.

When you push the needle through the paper tube, the tube flattens a bit but don’t worry because it just pops straight back out again with a little squeeze.Have fun with paper & beads to make adorable homemade Christmas ornaments.

Once we got to the top of the Christmas Decoration we threaded on a couple more beads and then tied the thread off to make a loop for hanging the homemade ornament onto the tree.

We think these Paper and Bead Trees make such pretty homemade Christmas decorations. Of course you can use any colours of paper or beads that you fancy to match your colour scheme or your children’s favourites. Why not have a go at cutting and arranging the tubes into different shapes too?
