Today’s SCRAPBOOK ADHESIVES BY 3L™ and Graphic 45® Blog Hop item is an ornament I made using the 8 x 8″ pack of Christmas Past paper and images.
The ornament starts with five die cut shapes.
Ink the edges, score each down the center vertically. Then apply adhesive to one half of the back side. I used Crafty Power Tape down the score line, and then a few Click ‘n Stick™ Mounting Squares around the edges.
The simply match up the shapes and adhere back to back to make a dimensional ornament. I added a piece of bakers twine to use as a hanger. I dangled a plastic bead at the bottom of the ornament and added three of the same shaped images back to back below the main ornament.
I added a cone bead to the top, and then tied a bow to it. I will loop the top of the twine so I can hang it from the tree at Christmas time.
I took the ornament one step further, buy die cutting another set of images in a smaller size, then adhering them inside the folds, giving the ornament an additional layer.
The possibilities are endless for this type of ornament, any shape, pattern or image will work, and you can embellish with any beads or bows or baubles.

Love these, I am going to have to make a bunch for this year since I lost all of my Christmas decor when I moved….

Without great adhesive power, the adorable Graphic 45 papers wouldn’t work. So even though they get all the glory, your adhesives need to grab a little, too!

This reminds me of the ornaments that my parents used to make with last year’s Christmas cards. They were so cute! I LOVE homemade ones.

I’ve been wanting to make this ornament but it looked difficult. Thanks to you being willing to share your talent I know I can make it. Taping it instead of gluing it will be so easy. I have a new cuttlebug I’m dying to use so I’m ordering that die or one like it and going into the ornament business. Like the chips, it will take more than one!
