Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Giant Ornaments

Creating oversized Christmas decorations is easier than it might seem.

Start with a simple project, such as a giant ornament.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Materials Needed: A large balloon, papier-mâché paste (flour and water mixture), newspaper strips, paint, and a hanging hook.
2. Instructions:

• Inflate the balloon to your desired size.
• Cover it with strips of newspaper dipped in papier-mâché paste. Apply 3-4 layers for sturdiness.
• Once dry, pop the balloon and remove it, leaving the hardened shell.
• Paint the ornament in festive colors and add decorative details.
• Attach a hook for hanging.

With practice, you’ll gain confidence and can move on to more complex projects, such as a giant wreath or snowflake.
