If you have some metallic paper, you can fold it like a fan and cut a simple shape (snowflake, bell, candle) to make a paper garland, or use some really beautiful Italian wrapping paper or something similarly elegant to make a delicate paper chain of loops like we used to make as kids. If you use metallic paper, glue two contrasting sheets together before you cut so you'll have good color whichever way it catches the eye...

Whatever you do, I always look forward to seeing! Have fun!
