Tidings of COMFORT & JOY - Ornament


This is one of the simplest ornaments I have made.

SUPPLIES - 
- white, red, & green cardstock
- green ink 
- Christmas greetings
- red glitter pen
- ornament paper punch
- gold cord
- pearl bead
- double sided tape/Mono Adhesive


INSTRUCTIONS- 
STEP 1 : Stamp your Christmas greetings onto the white cardstock. 
              You should have a front & back for each ornament.

STEP 2 : Use the red glitter to accent the stamped images. Set aside to dry.

STEP 3 : After the images are dry, punch them out using the ornament punch.
              (I used Stampin' Up's ornament punch.)
   
STEP 4 : Then punch 2 red & one green for each ornament you want to make.


STEP 5 : Adhere the layers together with the double sided/Mono adhesive.

STEP 6 : Use a large needle or piercing tool to poke a hole in the top.

STEP 7 : Put the gold cord through the hole and then through the bead.
              Knot the gold cord at the top.

STEP 8 : Fold the white and red cardstock a little so that the ornament is
              no longer flat, but 3d.
(I made these ornaments as a gift for our Ladies Christmas Tea.)
