Surprisingly, ornaments have a much longer history than many realize. The tradition goes as far back as the 16th century and has its deepest roots buried in Germany. Then, families adorned evergreens with fruits, nuts, and trinkets. Today, the tradition is practiced worldwide and has evolved from natural elements to glass, metal, jewels, and, in the case of this little project — paper. So, as you craft your Cardstock Rocking Horse Ornament, remember that you’re adding to a long tradition of handmade holiday joy.

Once assembled, your Cardstock Rocking Horse is ready to take its rightful place on the tree. Additionally, this would look so adorable as a gift tag to add an extra-sweet handmade flourish to your holiday festivities. You can also customize the colors, add small details with pens or paint, or even sprinkle on a bit of glitter for a magical holiday sparkle.
