Ornate Paper Ornaments
(These instructions create two ornaments.) Cut the top 1 1/2” off of Christmas Lace red/multi-colored flowers so it is 12”x11”. Cut the 1 1/2”x12” strip in half to make two 1 1/2”x6” strips. Cut another 1 1/2”x12” strip and cut in half. Cut two 1 1/2”x10 1/2” strips and cut them in half. Cut two 1 1/2”x9” strips and cut them in half. Cut one 1 1/2”x7 1/2” strip and cut in half.
Using the border punch, punch on both sides of each strip, creating a repeated circular shaped strip. Stack the paper strips in this order for both ornaments: 12&rdquo,; 10 1/2&rdquo,; 9&rdquo,; 7 1/2&rdquo,; 9&rdquo,; 10 1/2&rdquo,; 12”. Hold the stack tightly and staple the end, about 1/4” from the edge. Repeat for the second ornament.
Take the other ends of the paper strips and pinch them together, making the ornament shape. Staple the end. Repeat on the second ornament.
Add jewel Dazzles on one of the outside strips of the ornament, in the middle of each circular shape: Place a large Dazzles on the top and bottom of the strip. Place a medium Dazzles on the next circular area of the top and bottom, moving towards the center of the strip. Place a small Dazzles in the middle two circular shapes of the strip. Repeat on the other outside strip of the ornament. Repeat on the second ornament.
On the center ornament strip, place one large Dazzles on both sides of the middle circular-shape. On the next strip to the right and left of center, place a medium Dazzles on the middle circular-shape. Repeat on the second ornament.
