Deck The Halls Paper Ornaments (Kids Craft Class, Tuxedo Park Library)


During the month of December I hosted another Kids Craft Program at the Tuxedo Park Library and we created these two projects - the small tote bag to hold the decorative, paper ornament. The kids loved it (and so did the parents that attended).

The tote is from an old planner I purchased from Andrea Walford where she gave the instructions on how to create such a cute tote bag. I have used it many times over and over again has it is the perfect size for many gifts - a set of 4x4 cards, an ornament in this case, a box of jewelry, a gift card and more!



This adorable ornament was an idea shared by my dear friend, Diane Caro of Lakeside Stamper.  I modified it as I wasn't sure exactly how she made it (LOL) and had to make it for the kids to make.  So there are really two pieces to this project adhered together by a Pop-Glue Dot in the end.  Below you can see images of the two pieces joined together by ribbon, brads, and then the Pop-up Glue dot would be applied to hold the two pieces together.





 So, how did I make it?
  • I started with 13 punched Scallop Circles.
  • One kept for the base, and another set aside for the "other side" of the ornament (the smaller part of the project), leaving 11 circles to fill the ornament.
  • For each of the 11 pieces, I used SNAIL adhesive on the bottom 1/2 of each circle, and then folded in the left side, then the right side to make a wedge.  In class we called it a pizza slice and that we were making 11 slices to create the whole pizza.
  • Then each piece was laid on the base (which was completely covered with SNAIL adhesive), to make a pizza (LOL)! 
  • Then a rhinestone brad was placed through a punched small snowflake, and then through a Big Felt Flurries snowflake (brad and snowflakes on Clearance Rack at Stampin' Up!).  Then it was pierced thru a pice of Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon. Then the brad was opened as shown above.
  • Next, the smaller part of this ornament is just a Scallop Circle where another brad was placed through a punched snowflake, through a felt snowflake, through the Scallop Circle and then through the other end of the ribbon (as shown above).
  • Then both pieces where stuck together using a Pop-up Glue Dot.
For the kids, I had punched all the Scallop Circles for them (each had 13) and I had punched all the snowflakes and ribbon so they could quickly adhere all the pieces together.  So each baggie had:
  • 13 Scallop Circles
  • 2 Big Felt Flurries
  • 2 punched snowflakes
  • 2 Fire Round Rhinestones
  • 1 piece of Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon
  • SNAIL glue
Michaela loved it as well. Hope you and your loved ones had a wonderful holiday and continue to enjoy the holiday season!

Happy Holidays!
