So let’s get started on making our own Jack Skellington ornaments!
Halloween Themed Christmas Tree
Ok, still not convinced that Nightmare Before Christmas belongs anywhere near the holiday season?
Have you heard of Halloween Trees? They’re a new tree trend that I’ve been seeing the last couple years on social media and they’re the perfect excuse to put your Christmas Tree early.
These Nightmare Before Christmas themed ornaments will inspire you to get your Christmas Tree out in October and decorate for Halloween.
A Halloween Christmas tree Is the spooky decoration you didn’t know you needed, and I’m here to help you with it.
How to Make Your Paper Ornaments Last
As long as you carefully store your card-stock ornaments they should last for years without having to laminate them.
If you choose to use regular paper or construction paper then you will want to take some steps to preserve your handiwork.
In this case you will want to take a few extra minutes to laminate them. A good laminator is pretty cheap as are the sleeves, and it takes only minutes to protect your kids art this way.
Once they have assembled their ornament, but prior to attaching the ribbon, laminate it. Use a hole punch to create a hole for your ribbon, and carefully cut your ornament out.
They will be able to withstand a lot more wear and tear this way.
About the Materials Needed for this Handmade Ornament
Cardstock – You want to use good quality cardstock.
Glue – You can use either white glue or a glue stick.
Scissors – If your kids are making these, make sure they have good quality kids scissors.
Ribbon – You can also use black twine.
Glitter – You can skip this step if you want to avoid the glittergeddon that inevitably comes from using glitter.
