This year, I’m dreaming of a retro Christmas! Beyond the tree and the bows and the lights, I thought a simple printable garland would be the perfect finishing touch for this throwback look.
These oversized ornaments are great for creating a banner for your mantle or even a fun way to decorate you tree or holiday table. To create these ornaments, I do have a few tips for you, so let’s get started!
As always, you’ll need to break out your Canon PIXMA TS9521C Printer. It’s my go-to for colorful projects that need stand out – and in this case, it’s my favorite printer for projects that include the Print-Then-Cut feature on my Cricut Explore Air 2. Here’s what else you’ll want on hand to create this easy decor:
- Canon PIXMA TS9521C Printer
- Canon Matte Photo Paper
- Scissors or a Cricut Explore Air/Cricut Maker
- Twine
- A hole punch (if cutting out with scissors)
To assemble:
- Cut out the ornaments with scissors or your Cricut machine
- If cutting with scissors you’ll want to use a hole punch to create the hole at the top of the ornament
- Thread ornaments onto a piece of bakers twine and hang in your home!
*Note: If you notice that the ornaments are twisting or sliding on the twine, use a small dab of of glue to secure them in place on the twine
Canon Matte Photo Paper is my go to for any printable decor projects. The colors are super vibrant on this paper!
No Cricut, no worries! These ornaments are simple enough to cut out with a pair of scissors!
Upload the Retro Ornaments into Cricut Design Space and you can cut them out perfectly every time with your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker!
