I know this looks like it took forever, but these ornaments are super easy and quick.
First take a 12″ x 12″ piece of DSP and score at 5″ and 9″. Then cut it into 1/2″ strips perpendicular to the score lines, so that each strip is scored at 5″ and 9″.
Fold each strip into a Z like so.
Curl in the shortest part.
Curl the middle part over the first loop.
Curl the longest part over the first two. Now you have a set of 3 different sized loops.
Staple it together.
Place a glue dot in the stapled area…
…and adhere it to the next loop set.
Continue until you have enough to make an ornament you like. I used 17, but I could have added more.
Once the last two are adhered together and you have a circle, adhere a 7/8″ scallop circle to the center with glue. Do this on both sides.
Tie a ribbon through one of the outer loops to hang.
It looks quite delicate from the front…
…but substantial from the side.
For this ornament I adhered all layers with glue dots instead of stapling. The loops are much looser, so I could make an ornament with as few as five. I adhered a star to the center instead of a scallop circle.
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
What a great project! thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Rosemary! I’m glad you like it!
Very cute! I especially like the star shaped ornament. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks, Kathy! I think I’ll be making a lot of these since they’re so quick and easy. I’m thinking of mixing different colors of card stock for my next one.
