I wish I could take credit for this cute little ornament, but I found the idea in this...
I will be doing a little Make-N-Take at the retreat next weekend to teach the basic design. However, the possibilities are endless! I am thinking stars, pow shapes, snowflakes...
Here is the basic how-to...
1. cut out shapes - about 16 total. I did circles first and then tried this fun snowflake shape. (I cut the snowflakes out on the cricut, for the circles you could use a punch) They need to be shapes that are congruent. Mine are about 3" in diameter.
2. Score down the middle of each piece and fold.
Do this to all of them. I used two different patterned paper. You could do them all the same, 3 different or if you had a bunch of scraps - all different. (Just think of all that Basic Grey paper you bought in packs and only used a few sheets. I had a whole box full.)
3. Now start gluing the halves together.
4. Keep gluing one half to the back of the next half. (alternating patterns if you have more than one)
Just be sure that your edges are lining up. There will be a gap in the middle when you are finished.
5. When you get the the last one, glue the two left over sides together to make a complete circle.
6. I ran a ribbon through the center and added buttons to finish it off. I recommend a very small ribbon or even twine. There is a big enough gap to run it down the middle.
**I know the photos are all jacked up, but you get the idea.
