Start by cutting four similarly-sized circles from old greeting cards (they need not have the same design).

you could make the circles as big or as small as you want.

you could punch a hole on top of the Christmas ball and loop a piece of yarn through it.

double-check not to stretch out the filter paper so as to keep the pleats.

Continue gluing until the ends of the filter paper meet and cut off the excess.

Glue another layer on top of the first ring, making sure that the layers slightly overlap.

Repeat the process until you reach the tip of the cone.

Once youre done gluing the filter paper strips on the cone, you’re free to start decorating.

Try gluing old buttons or bead to the filter paper to create the ornaments on the Christmas tree.

Whoever said that the best things in life are free wasnt exaggerating.

With a little creativity and some scrap materials, you could prep your home for the seasons festivities.
