Wondering what to do with all those extra save the date cards, invitations and programs? Finding yourself too sentimental to throw them out?
Make an ornament keepsake of course!
Whether for your Christmas tree, Chanukah bush or just an extra bauble for your shelf, this is a fun and original way to repurpose your paper treasures.
Step 1:
Cut your invitation into thin strips, don't worry about them being perfect! Different widths make it interesting.

Step 2:
Use your scissors and curl the paper strips around the point.
Step 3:
Carefully remove the silver ornament top and fill the inside with the paper curls. Caution: This is glass and breakable, do not use too much force!
Step 4:
Close the top and enjoy! You can keep them all for yourself or give them as gifts to family and friends!
Step 5:
