Christmas Yarn Ornament


Hello, for today’s Christmas tree ornament we will be making the ornaments using yarn!

To make this ornament you will need…

A plain, round tree ornament  
Liquid glue
Scissors

  1. Take the end of the yarn and tie it in a knot around the top of the ornament.

  1. Make three or four lines of glue on the ornament going from the top to the bottom so that the yarn will stick.
