Ah the winter season is a time when we can slow down and appreciate the things that really matter. A chance to take stock of lasting joy. Clearly I’m talking about the opportunity to print out this paper craft ornament template, cut out the component globe gore panels, and assemble them into a simple treasure.
So blow some dust off the printers, push some card-stock through them, and roll up your sleeves. We’re about to dive in to some exquisite holiday crafting. Geographer-style!
Save and print this image…

Then follow the instructions on the page to create a glorious little holiday bauble. It’s sure to engage students, bedazzle your friends, and just knock the socks off your colleagues. Something to do while chatting about year end goals and sipping on eggnog. You know the feelz.
What’s that you say, you’d prefer a different map style for your globe ornament? You are covered, my mappy friend. Download this ArcGIS Pro project and customize to your cartographic heart’s content.

Don’t forget, there are heaps more ornament crafts for you and yours, available here.
If you succeed in making one or more of these little objects of joy, we’d love to see them! Feel free to share a photo on your favorite socials and tag Esri!
Love, John
