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.
