Oh, those are nice. I had forgotten about doing pressed paper. What a great idea for an ornament exchange.

you take a cookie mold....I use Brown bag molds and wet tissue paper and press in many layers of the paper and let it dry then take out of the mold and trim the edges..now I can't seem to find info about painting them...I had it before but can't find it on line now..help..anyone have more info?

Thanks for the info, Sue. They are great ornaments. I might have to give it a try.

Those are so neat!!.Is that just tissue paper like you use in gift bags! No glue just water? How many layers of paper does it take? I know I have tissue paper in a lot of colors! My brain is on create now and the ideas are flying through!! Thanks!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

Well I think you can use the wrapping tissue paper ..I used kleenex tissues and there is info for using toilet paper...I have not done a lot so far...hoping to get more info..no glue just layers of the paper pretty wet and you press it well into the mold..I used at least 10 layers of paper ...as I find more info I will post it
