Ornament tutorial

December 16, 2008 By Connie | 6 Comments

I promised a tutorial on the square ornament I did for the Blogger’s Challenge last Friday and finally was able to finish it last night.  Really very easy to do.  I have a ton of stuff to accomplish today, so enough chit chat!  lol!  Oh, I did try to use the scallop edge punch, but it was really difficult to line up the corners evenly…and since they are so prominent, I really didn’t want to spend the time it took to figure out the correct dimensions. 

Supplies:

Two Designer Paper designs
Coordinating cardstock color
Adhesive
Jumbo Eyelet
Ribbon
Stamp or embellishments for decorating

Cut first layer (base) of cardstock 3 3/4 x 3 3/4
First designer paper 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Second designer paper 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
Cardstock color 3 x 3
First designer paper 2 3/4 x 2 3/4
Second designer paper 2 1/2 x 2 1/2
Cardstock color 2 x 2

 

 Layers

 

 

 

 

Step 1

Lay base 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 cardstock square on paper.  Place first designer paper (3 1/2 x 3 1/2 sparkles) a quarter turn from base and adhere to largest cardstock color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Make another quarter turn and place second designer paper (3 1/4 x 3 1/4 stripe) over first designer paper, aligning with base cardstock.

 

 

 

 

Step 3

Turn again and place cardstock (3 x 3) to line up evenly with first designer paper (sparkles) square.

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Turn again and place first designer paper (2 3/4 x 2 3/4) so it lines up layered evenly with second designer paper (stripe) square.

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Turn again and add second designer paper (2 1/2 x 2 1/2 stripes) lined up to cardstock layer.

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Turn again and add final 2 x 2 cardstock square to center.

 

 

 

 

 

Step 7

Finish by decorating center.  I added a jumbo eyelet to the top point and ran the ribbon thru to hang the ornament.

This one I used the Small Felt Flurries and a Rhinestone brad in the center.

I love making these…so fast and easy.  And, different papers, make them look completely different.

Enjoy!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    AWESOME, and so quick and easy! I can’t wait to whip together a bunch of these. I’m going to use them as gift tags and stamp to:/from: on the back. They’ll make lovely little package add-ons that can be reused to trim the tree. Thanks for an easy project!
