5th Week of Christmas

The scalloped ornament is very simple to make--and you can even use up some of your scraps. you know I'm all about using up that scrap basket.

Step 1: Punch 10 scallop circles out of designer paper (you can use cardstock that you've stamped on as well)

Step 2: Fold each circle in half making sure to fold each circle the same way.

Step 3: Adhere the the circles together, all except one.

Step 4: Use cord to create the loop, add beads or pearls from the pretties kit.

Step 5: Adhere the last of the circles together around the cord.


This ornament is simply a paper lantern. I made it very quickly at the October Hostess Club just to give another idea of ornaments you could make using paper. I also saw a very cute example of this lantern using the apple cider paper and made it into a pumpkin--very cute.

Step one: Cut 10 strips of 1" by 6" paper.

Step two: Punch a hole in the top and bottom of each strip. If you have the crop-a-dile it will punch through all ten sheets at once. I do not so this was the most time consuming part of the project.

Step three: String the ribbon through the holes and tie a knot on the top and bottom to make sure it doesn't slip.
