This craft is inspired by Victorian-era decorations at Hartford’s Butler-McCook House & Garden. The perfect addition to any space, personalize your ornaments with customized paper to gift to your loved ones. You can incorporate paper designs with animals, sports, and funky patterns, or even use pieces of movie posters or pages from a favorite book to create a unique design. The ornament pictured here was crafted by one of our amazing staff members using a Connecticut Landmarks brochure. Below is a YouTube tutorial from Easy Paper Origami on how to make your own paper origami star. We would love to see any ornaments you’ve made!
