1 1 P a g e Supplies: Ornament keepsake stamp set Framelits holiday ornament set Stampin up Ornament By: Danielle Kellogg-Howard Inks of your choice- I used Cherry Cobbler and Wild Wasabi Big shot Hot glue gun Good craft glue (I used crafter s Choice the Ultimate) Linen Thread Whisper White paper Paper of your choice for the center Scallop Border punch ¾ circle punch Designer Vintage buttons Score board Paper cutter Rhinestones or Pearls Silicone sheet Tulle strips- color of your choice 20 stamped large image 20 stamped smaller image First I made a plain template so that I could make sure I line everything up right, Later I will put it between a mat and the silicone sheet. You can see the template through the silicone sheet so that will help line it up, since the hot glue dries faster. Then I stamped 20 of each image, my camera decided to malfunction so I had to go back and retake these pictures so in this picture is cherry cobbler and old olive.

2 2 P a g e Ran them all through the big shot and cut them out. This part takes the longest. But I think it is worth it. All my images cut out. I divided them into sets of 4; you will need to score 3 of the 4 images to make one petal/arm of the ornament. So 5 of the 20 will need to stay flat and the rest will need to be scored in the middle. I lined it up as even as I could Scored it down the middle.

3 3 P a g e The pieces for a petal/arm of the ornament, ready to put together. Two pieces glued together. Here I have all 3 scored pieces glued together, I folded and held them together like this so that the glue would dry well and to make sure that they were even. While I was gluing these together I keep looking at them in different angles to make sure that they were all lined up as best as possible. Then glue the flat one to the 3 folded ones. You will have to push the 3 folded ones in while the glue dries; they want to poke outside the flat one. One petal/arm complete. : )

4 4 P a g e Back and side views. All 5 of the base petals/arms. One thing I didn t do here but you may want to, is to put a loop of linen thread or something like that for hanger in one of the ends so you have a spot to hang it with later. Scoring the smaller ornaments. The 4 pieces for a smaller petal/arm. I put these together the same way as the larger ones.

5 5 P a g e All 5 done. Now on to assembly... I laid the template down on a dark surface and placed the silicone sheet on top of it. I didn t take pictures of the gluing it together process because I would either have the hot glue dry to fast or burnt myself. But here it is, put together. I also used the craft glue to glue the spots where the ornaments touch (at the widest part), to help make it sturdier. I cut 5 pieces of Tulle at 4 inches and folded each in half, place a small dot of hot glue where the ornaments join together and pushed it down with and metal tipped scoring tool until it stuck to the glue.

6 6 P a g e All 5 are glue in place. Then I cut my 10-6 inch pieces of the linen thread. I glued each piece together separately first, I thought it helped each piece stand out better. Then I took 2 pieces and glued them in the middle of the large ornament, putting those pieces in place. Then started with the smaller ornaments and hot glue them in place on top of the tulle (between the large ornaments), holding them there for a few seconds so that they don t pop up.

7 7 P a g e I don t have the die that make the rosettes, So I got a piece of shimmer paper, punched the scallop boarder on the edge, cut it to be about ¾ inches wide and scored it every ¼ inch and folded it to make my rosette Once I got it folded and glued together I punched a ¾ inch circle and used it as my back. I hot glued my designer button in place and put a rhinestone it the middle of the rosette.

8 8 P a g e Before the rosette went in place this is what it looked like. And after.
