Cut 2 of them to the length of 20 cm, 2 to the length of 16 cm and 1 to the length of 12 cm.
Step 3
Place them on top of each other in this order… 20 cm – 16 cm – 12 cm – 16 cm – 20 cm. Bring one end of all the strips together and punch a hole in it.
Step 4
Tie a piece of ribbon as shown. Leave it long enough to be used to hang it up somewhere.
Step 5
Bring the other end of all the strips together as shown. You can hold it in place with a paper clip. Punch a hole in this end too.
Step 6
Tie a small piece of ribbon through the bottom end.

Hang up the paper ornament on your Christmas tree or use it as a Christmas decoration somewhere else in your house.
