Recycled Christmas Cardboard Ornaments

My husband and I enjoy Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. We like it because it is cheap, still made in America, and it won America's best beer in 1884. :) The packaging is also interesting and colorful. This project can be done with any interesting pictures on cardboard packaging. For example you child's favorite cereal character.


Recycled Christmas Cardboard Ornaments

Items Needed:
  • Interestingly designed recycled cardboard packaging
  • glue
  • glitter
  • piece of reused ribbon (or other hanging device *see recycled Christmas metal ornaments)
  • scissors
  1. cut out your interesting or fun shape/design out of your cardboard
  2. place glue in places where it will highlight your design
  3. shake glitter over top of the glue
  4. shake off excess glitter
  5. use excess glitter for next ornament instead of dumping out new glitter
  6. let the glue and glitter dry
  7. punch a hole in the top of your ornament using your sisscors
  8. string your reused ribbon through the hole
  9. tie a knot in the ribbon
  10. hang on your tree and enjoy
