It’s time to decorate the house or classroom, so let’s have some fun with these Papercut Christmas Ornaments. Use festive colors of printer paper for the ornaments and you will have the tree decorated in no time flat. Kids can be as creative as they want with lots of cuts or just a simple design.

I’ve provided two free printable templates. One is for the round ornament and the other is the diamond shape ornament. Each of the printouts includes the template for two of the same ornament.
So, basically the only supplies you will need are different colors of printer paper (My favorite multi color printer paper to use is Astrobrights 5 color assortment pack) and scissors. If you are looking for a classroom craft or a holiday craft for a large group that is easy on the budget, this is it! Children can make as many papercut Christmas ornaments as they wish for basically no cost.
Make these pretty paper Christmas Ornaments a family tradition. Help younger children by cutting out the basic outline of the ornament and let them make the inside decorated cuts. Use the homemade ornaments to decorate your tree and home. A super cute idea would be to send a keepsake ornament to family and friends inside a holiday greeting card.
You can even take this Christmas papercut ornament craft one step further. Start with the original ornament and cut out a design. Next, cut out an additional ornament of the same shape to glue to the papercut ornament. By using a different color of paper, the cutout sections of the first ornament will stand out nicely. Another fun option is to use a piece of tinfoil for the backing for a shimmering effect.
