Handcrafted Holiday ~ Paper Crane Ornaments
This is the easiest one we have made yet. Both the kids have crane mobiles that have lasted through the years. I made them for their 3rd and 8th birthdays. That is 5 years ago! Alex really wanted to make some for me, so I handed him a stack of paper squares that I had cut out for the pennant flag garland and he folded them up. While he was doing that, I thought about how to make them last for years in storage... and the first thing I thought of was Modge Podge! These cranes are on the tree now, and I think they may just last forever.

Step 1
Cover the cranes in the decoupage glue. Let dry.
-
Step 2
Place a bead at the bottom of the headpin. The bead should be big enough to not let the head pin go into the crane.
-
Step 3
Put the headpin through the opening at the bottom of the crane. Use a needle to poke the hole if you have to. The dry glue may make it harder to get the headpin through. Push gently through the top of the crane.
-
Step 4
Twist off the protruding end of the headpin down into a circle at the top of the crane with your pliers.
-
Step 5Add the ornament hook and hang on tree!
As I am sure you can imagine, our tree is shaping up quite nicely. I am about to switch gears to gifts (and wrapping them)! But first, the much promised sweater mice pattern.....
