Ballerina Gingerbread Ornament - ornament on the treeYou can make lots of cute and fun ornaments with just paper (feel free to adjust with supplies you already own). Here's one I made for my daughter to reflect her personality and I used her favorite color for the shirt.

Total Time: 20 minutes

Supplies:

Steps:

  1. Using brown construction paper, freehand draw and cut out your gingerbread shape.
  2. Ballerina Gingerbread Ornament - cutout of gingerbread cookie shape
     
  3. Apply googly eyes (or draw in eyes if you don't have googly eyes on hand.)
  4. Ballerina Gingerbread Ornament - add eyes
     
  5. Figure out what color felt to use for crown and shirt. I freehand and cut yellow felt for the crown. I used red (daughter's favorite color) for the shirt. You'll need some tulle (any scraps would do, or you can use paper or felt.)

  7. Cut a rectangular strip of tulle and roll it up. Then tie a knot with an elastic hair band or rubber band at the top to flare it out into a tutu. Hot glue the tutu down.
