Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » diy wednesdays: modern paper ornaments
it’s official. we drove by a real-life christmas tree lot today, which means that it’s time to get cracking on our holiday decorating. these paper ornaments can be hung just about anywhere (from a tree, in a window, from a chandelier) and they are super simple to make. all it takes is some paper and a stapler to make any room feel festive. just click here for more photos and full instructions. happy decorating! –derek & lauren Here’s what you’ll need: -Various colors of paper or cardstock, cut into 1″ x 11″ strips. We used 5 colors of cardstock plus silver and gold gift wrap. Using your X-acto blade and straight edge, cut a few sheets of each color paper into strips that measure 1″ wide by 11″ long. Lay out your color combinations. Cut the center strip down to 6″ long. Make sure the tops of all the strips are flush, and then staple them together.
Make a gift bow from a magazine page
In gift wrap emergencies when you've got the present but need some wrapping, here's an idea for turning a magazine page into a bow. There may be better ways to stick this thing together, but I used what I had on hand: staples and adhesive glue dots. Double stick tape or brads should work, too. Cut a magazine page lengthwise into 9 strips, 3/4" wide. Leave 3 of the strips full length. If you're using a magazine that's 10 1/2" tall, you'll end up with: 3 strips, 10 1/2" x 3/4" 3 strips, 9 1/2" x 3/4" 2 strips, 8 1/2" x 3/4" 1 strip, 3 1/2" x 3/4" Twist each strip to form a loop at both ends and staple it in the center. Layer the three longest pieces on top of each other, spacing them evenly and securing each with a glue dot. Use other papers, like a map of your city.

Prints of the work of 'king of kitsch' Tretchikoff were once fairly easy to come by. But as they get rarer, or at least more expensive than they once were, perhaps these Tretchikoff lampshades from Graham and Green can fill that kitsch decor hole in your life.

Clearly iStamp: Gift Card Grad
Hi friends, before we get started with Tuesday's tutorial, I just wanted to remind you that we've got our monthly challenge going on right now. You have until June 3rd to join the fun. You can read all about it RIGHT HERE. Now for todays fun...Katie here and its Tuesday which means that I've got a tutorial for you. Today, I decided to box up my gift card. My first inclination is to go the traditional black and white since I don't actually know a person graduating this year, but I opted to go with my other inclination at the moment... Graduation is a big deal and its a reason to celebrate so I opted to create a design with these fun bright colors and using a new release stamp set called Air Flair. I then added THIS single graduation hat image and THIS graduation sentiment to create my tag. So how about the box? Here is a list of all the dimensions for the 3 main pieces of cardstock that you will need. I started with one color and stamped the balloon image. Next I added my balloon basket.
