Today is the last day of the Christmas Ornament Hop, and I’m excited to share how to make these Paper Bead Tree Ornaments. For my green tree, I created my own colored design, but you can easily customize yours using napkins, scrapbook paper, wrapping paper, or even magazine pages. It’s a fun, versatile project that turns simple materials into something beautifully festive!

I colored the ends of the beads with a marker to cover the white paper. This gives your ornament a more finished appearance. To join the beads together I used festive pipe cleaners. Alternatives could be cord, or floral wire.

Make a Bracelet from Paper

Let’s make a beautiful bracelet you will love from paper.

finished bracelet

You can create beads from all kinds of paper and turn them into beautiful jewelry. This bracelet was made using a free printable on regular copy paper, but the technique works with any paper you choose. The process is the same—only the look will change!

To purchase the same magnetic clasps, they are available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/45Bb6CC

two beads

Using the free SVG file linked above will create two different-sized beads when rolled. If you prefer all your beads to be the same size, simply print and cut two sheets of the same size design instead of one.

coated beads

I chose for my beads to be shiny so I used two coats of Diamond Glaze. There are a variety of different materials you can use to coat your paper beads. Here are some suggestions:

  • Mod Podge
  • varnish
  • UV resin
  • clear nail polish
  • acrylic spray
  • gel medium
  • white glue + water
