Print or draw peace sign shapes on sturdy paper to make a reusable template. Trace the outline onto cardboard, creating versions in various sizes for diversity in your ornaments.
Carefully cut out the peace signs from the cardboard. Make the inner cutouts slightly larger than the template—the pom-poms will fill these spaces, so extra room ensures a neat fit.
Coat the cardboard front and back with markers or craft paint matching your pom-poms' color. This prevents any gaps from showing through. Color the edges thoroughly for a polished look.
Pierce a hole at the top of the peace sign using a screw eye, nail, or dowel—ensure it's straight. Thread a pipe cleaner through and twist it around your finger for a fun curly hanger.
Using a hot glue gun, secure the pom-poms to the cardboard. Press firmly and hold until set. Double-check that they lie flat without protruding beyond the edges.
