I love craft projects that combine geometry and art. That is why I created these unique DIY Holiday Ornaments. This ornament project is a fun and exciting activity that includes options for school-aged children, teens, and adults. Crafting a unique 3-dimensional ornament allows opportunities for individual expression and creativity. The finished pieces will become cherished holiday keepsakes that are perfect for decorating a Christmas tree or hanging from the ceiling to create a festive holiday display. Benefits of Arts and Crafts Projects Arts and crafts projects foster creativity, improve dexterity, boost self-esteem, and stimulate imagination. This ornament project also offers practice with following directions and step-by-step procedures. The finished product is a one-of-a-kind holiday ornament that may be proudly displayed at home or in a classroom. Create 3D Holiday Ornaments as a STEM / STEAM Activity There is something magical about taking a flat piece of paper and transforming it into a 3-dimensional object. Articles of clothing, packaging containers, and material design projects are created with a similar process. The objects and shapes of this project support mathematical education and geometry. The procedures required align with STEM and STEAM educational philosophies. Plus, the process of coloring the ornament allows for artistic expression and creativity. Some teachers have used this project with their students and created a “Geome-Tree” in their classroom! Suggestions for Utilizing this Versatile Craft Project: School Classroom Activity School Art Enrichment Activity Gifted and Talented / GATE Project STEM / STEAM Activity Homeschool Activity Sunday School Craft Family Craft Project Christmas Tree Decorating Party Choose from many styles and designs Multiple design options are provided for each style of ornament.

If you plan to use this craft with young students, I recommend you select from the beginner-level options. It will also be helpful to have the assistance of an additional adult (or older student). This will make the folding and assembling process easier. 3D Holiday Ornaments – Beginner Set The beginner-level set offers choices for young students and individuals with limited dexterity. The designs and patterns include holiday images, holiday messages, stained glass-style images, and geometric patterns. The holidays represented include Christmas, Hanukkah, Las Posadas, and Kwanzaa. 3D Holiday Ornaments – Advanced Set The advanced-level set includes designs with more intricate details and folds. These ornaments require more focus and dexterity, so they are best for upper-elementary age to adults. The designs and patterns include geometric patterns, stained glass-style designs, the word “Joy”, and the word “Peace”. I hope you have as much fun crafting your individual ornaments as I did creating the entire collection! Happy Holidays, Janet Mitchell

Before I begin I just want to say thank you so much to @adventures_in_teaching_art for the project idea. I was flipping through Instagram the other day and saw it and fell in love! This is my take on the weaving project. List of Materials Chinet Plates (8.75") Scissors Tempera Paint (for background) Yarn (dark green, brown, and black) Plastic Yarn Needles Optional: Beads (for ornaments) Optional: Pipe Cleaner (for star) First have your students paint a background onto their chinet plate. You could have them keep it simple or use this as an opportunity to talk about foreground, middle-ground, background and atmospheric perspective! Once their plates are dry, have them make a series of cuts into their plates. Two at the top (about 3/4" apart) and 10 at the bottom (about the same distance apart). Give students a long piece of yarn for their warp strings - these are the vertical strings that are connected to the loom (the paper plate). If you are using 8.85" plates, you will need to give each student roughly 12.5 ft (or 150"). The color that they use for this should be different than the color that they are going to use for the tree (for clarity). Students will tuck one end of their string through the top left cut on their plate (short end on the back), and then they will begin wrapping their string around their plate. Students will use the top left cut to the 5 bottom cuts on the left and then switch to the top right cut to hold the 5 bottom cuts on the right. Once all their warp strings are strung, students will take the remaining bit of string and wrap it around all 10 strings at the top, then tie a double knot to keep them all together. Any remaining string should be pulled onto the backside and tied to the other end of the string (still dangling on the back of the plate from the first warp string). On my plate the next thing that I added was the pipe cleaner star at the top of my tree. In retrospect though, this probably should've waited until the very end. To create it, I took a short yellow pipe cleaner and put 5 beads on the middle of it. Then I twisted the pipe cleaner around so that the beads looked like the points on a star. Using the two ends sticking out, I tucked the pipe cleaner underneath the top of the warp strings, then twisted it around to attach it. Once your students are finished with their warp strings, give them a long piece of dark green yarn (for the weft strings). They will tie one end of the string to the top of the warp strings. You can tie a plastic yarn needle to the other end of the string if you'd like for easier weaving. They will then begin weaving the weft string over and under the warp strings, making sure to keep them in the correct order. *Tell them not pull their weft string too tight. Once they get to the last warp string they'll loop back around and start weaving in the opposite direction. As they weave, be sure to remind students to push their weft strings up every once in a while. If they're using a yarn needle, they can easily just use that to help push them up. If they want to add "ornaments" to their tree, they just need to periodically add some beads onto their weft string. Once they've finished weaving the dark green weft string, students will tie the end of it to one of the warp strings towards the bottom. To add the tree stump, students will need to take a brown piece of yarn and tie one end of it to the 4th warp string over (from either the left or right). They will be using the middle 4 warp strings to weave the stump. If you want to go more seasonal and less Christmasy with this project, have students do it without the star and ornaments.

Figuring out the first art project of the year with my kids is always a daunting task for me. This is why I was so excited when I found this pin of suncatchers on Pinterest (links back to the blog Make, Do, Play). I really wanted to do something that my students would have fun with and could easily be started late if new students joined my class throughout the week (I see mine for an entire week.. then rotate to the next class). My students absolutely LOVE origami and even though I'm not particularly skilled at it, the folds in this project were very simple.. so it was a easy choice! I started this project by reviewing both linear and radial symmetry with my students. We talked about the difference between the two.. then sorted a number of images based on their type of symmetry. Once I was sure my students had it down, I moved on to demonstrating two folds that they could use for the project. I folded two different examples on my document camera, while my 5th graders followed along on scrap paper. After showing them the two folds, they decided which one of the two radial suncatcher designs they wanted to create... then picked out their colors. I originally intended for this to be a color wheel lesson.. but you need to have 8 different colored papers for these designs and not 6 like a standard color wheel has. So instead they had free reign on their color choices (either way they were getting some color mixing lesson). **The paper we used was a semi-transparent colored origami paper . It think these really turned out beautifully and they were very simple to make! On Friday I hung them up in the cafeteria windows.. they look stunning in the morning light! :)
