Soft Sculpting Paper
Ornaments
{HOW-TO PROJECT PAGE}

 

We softly embossed the edges around these new paper pieced ornaments and were pleasantly surprised by the elegant look using just one color, white. We'll also be posting some more photos of ones we did using the glitter papers in juicy colors.

With some bits of ribbon, rhinestones and other embellishments you can make a beautiful set of paper ornaments for your Christmas trees.

Here's how we did it...
1. - We started by cutting all the pieces in the collection from white bazzill cardstock and stacked the pieces together for each individual ornament to keep things a little organized and make it quicker to complete.

2. - You only need 3 items to do this: An embossing tool like the one shown. An old mousepad. We used a gel pad but the harder foam ones should work okay too.  And you need pop-dots.

3. - Place each piece upside down on the gel pad. With the tip of the embossing tool, begin gently rubbing along the outer edges back and forth until the edges begin to curl up a bit.

4. - Place pop-dots on the back side and assemble the layers. Use a punch to make a hang hole on the top.

It's as simple as that. These have a simple elegance just the way they are or you can add bits of ribbon and rhinestone to add some bling.

We hope you have as much fun as we did putting these together. We also hope you will share photos of what you did with this pattern by posting them on our FACEBOOK page. Maybe you have some great color combinations, special papers...we'd love to see them.

~Have fun!
