I used my moon template to make a very grown up Christmas tree ornament. Use exotic papers, metallic rub ons, rubber stamps and vintage images to turn an ordinary template traced onto a piece of cardboard into an elegant handmade gift any adult would love to receive.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with tin, matboard, or other backing materials. Embellishments such as charms and glass beads can help glam up your ornament even more.

For even more fun, grab materials for the whole family and sit down together to make enough ornaments for the whole tree.

We put up our Christmas tree and didn’t put a single decoration on it. Instead, we put out a ton of paper ornaments and stuff to decorate them and had the kids make their own ornaments to hang on the tree. It’s starting to look very colorful and they are so proud of their work!

This printable template for star and moon paper ornaments is a quick and easy Christmas craft for kids. We printed ours onto heavy cardstock for more durability. Using cardboard backings would also work.

Simply cut our the ornaments, punch a hole in the tops for a hanger and then give the kids stickers, glitter, crayons and colorful bits of paper so they can decorate their stars and moon.

Alternative idea - cut the stars and moons from aluminum foil for added shine.
