Technique Tuesday - Paper Ornaments

Welcome to another edition of Technique Tuesday. Today we are making paper ornaments thanks to the inspiration from over at Inspire.Create Stamping Challenges #ICSC203.

I’m using the gorgeous paper from the Peaceful Gardens suite and it’s cool blue wintery vibes but these double ornaments look stunning in almost every colour palette. 

What you need:

You start by cutting the 2x2 squares and 3x3 squares into 1/2 inch strips with your trimmer. 

Then using the 1/16” hole punch line up strips and punch holes in either end of the strips as shown here:

Thread the strips onto your hat pin using alternating colours.

Repeat with the opposite end of strips pulling from the bottom of stack each time. Once all are looped into hat pin you can add a Pearl if desired. Than repeat the process with the shorter strips to form your second ball. 

Add any additional pearls if desired and than your hat pin closure.

These are super quick and easy to make but pack an awesome ‘awwww so pretty’ from recipient's! Great to add to a hostess gifts in place of a normal bow on a bottle of wine or small gift. 

Happy Stampin’
