What can you make with old calendar pages?

Well I have a simple craft for you to make!

I love Susan Branch's artwork and I have saved all of her old calendars - I have used them for placemats, made gift bags and today I am sharing how to make an ornament for your Christmas Tree!

I chose three pages that had pops of red, made a tree shaped pattern....

....and cut out six shapes from the calendar pages:

I folded each one in half:

I glued them together in pairs, and let the glue dry....

...and then glued the 3 pairs all together:

I punched a hole in the top and used string as a hanger.

I also used the leftover paper to make a circle ornament and assembled it the same way!

Now let's see what the other designers created:

Modern on Monticello

Pandora’s Box

Purple Hues & Me

Sum of Their Stories

Vintage Style Gal

The Apple Street Cottage

Do It Over Designers - The Recycle Bin

Our task this month, for the Do It Over Designers,  was to grab something out of our recycle bin and recreate it!
