Introduction: Christmas Card Ball
These Card balls are a great way to use your Christmas cards! They are very easy to make, and are a lovely Christmas decoration.
Supplies
You will need:
12 Christmas cards
Scissors
A black pen
Glue (We used super glue, but school glue or double sided tape also work)
Templates- a 3'' circle, and a pentagon that fits inside it.
Pliers (Optional, but very useful if you are using super glue)
Step 1:
Use the circle template to draw around a pretty part of each card.
Step 2:
Cut the circles out. You will need twelve.
Decide which six will be on the top and which ones will be on the bottom.
Step 3:
On the backs of the circles, trace the pentagon template. For the pieces on the top, there needs to be a point at the bottom of the picture. For the top, it needs to be flat on the bottom. Fold on the lines as shown in the pictures.
Step 4:
Decide where you want the pictures and arrange them as shown. Try to spread out similar colors and pictures.
Step 5:
Glue the pieces together. You should make two halves and then glue them together. If you are using super glue, pliers can be nice to pinch the tabs together.
Step 6:
You are finished! The card ball can be set on a table or hung somewhere.
