The steps below follow the order of the work for this holidays project.
…. on the 2nd day of Christmas my blog friend gave to me …. Scalloped Edged Ornament I think that first one is my go-to so far, and it is probably the easiest one I have made. Also it is definitely kid friendly.- Start with your choice of paper. I used two coordinating pieces. Or it could be solid or a rainbow of colors… It is up to you!
- Use a circular shape, (a cup for example) and trace that shape onto your paper 8 times.
- Cut out circles. *** Optional, if you have scallop edged scissors or pinking shears use them.
- Fold circles in half, like above
- Glue the side of one folded circle, and glue two pieces together.
- Repeat with all sides until you have a small stack of half circles
-
- Add a small ribbon loop to ornament and then glue final two sides together.
- Cut card stock paper into thin strips about 1/4″-3/8″ inch wide by 6″-8″ inch long
- Gather strips together, good side facing up
- Make a hole in the end of strips. (I used a nail and hammer, with a cutting board underneath)
- Place brad into hole and secure it (not too tightly)
- Repeat on second end, but before putting the brad into the paper add some looped ribbon. ( I taped the end of the ribbon so it wouldn’t fray, and pushed the brad through the taped ribbon portion)
- Now fan out your pieces.
