Things You'll Need:
- Metal lids from biscuit cans or frozen juice cans
- White paper
- Pencil
- Scotch tape
- Block of sturdy wood
- Hammer
- Nail
- Glue
- Embellishments such as glitter or lace
- Ribbon or yarn for hanging
-
Step 1
Put the metal lid on a piece of white paper and trace around it with a pencil.
-
Step 2
Draw dots on the paper circle in a Christmas-themed, pattern such as a star, candy cane, gingerbread man or a Christmas tree.
-
Step 3
Tape the paper circle to the metal lid.
-
Step 4
Put the metal lid on a block of wood, and use the hammer and a nail to punch a hole for each dot. If you create a hole that goes entirely through the metal lid, it will create a lantern effect when you hang it in front of Christmas lights. If you hammer only part way through, the result will be three-dimensional.
-
Step 5
Remove the paper pattern and poke a hole in the top hang the tin punched Christmas ornament.
-
Step 6
Glue ribbon or lace around the edge of the Christmas ornament, or leave it plain. Tie a piece of ribbon or yarn through the hole in the top of the ornament.
