A few days ago, Design*Sponge posted a simple but pretty DIY paper ornament craft. I used fewer paper strips (than her example) on my first three, but they're perfect for the space above our tree. Simply cut (with scissors, a trimmer, an Exacto knife, or your teeth) various colored paper into 1" wide pairs of paper strips at various lengths (outside pair 11" long, middle pair 9", center 7") (or 9", 7", 5" or any other variation you might want to try). Line up the ends of the strips at one end, staple them together, then force the strips to stack at the other end, staple, and you're finished. I didn't have glitter paper to use on the middle/inside strips, so I covered a few strips with glitter glue. Then Willow flipped her tail on to the strips and spread the glue all over the couch. Just keep the paper away from your pet as the glue dries. Skip the glitter for a quicker version. Variations on the shapes are easy to make as well--just eye-ball it. (Third pic: improvised from leftover paper). Let me know if you try it!

Very pretty ornaments!
Looks Great! Many have seen it previously on one of the Trogulite ships on a Star Trek episode or maybe it was in your Nov. report.
