Gather up your Ornament Supplies:

Reverse Confetti Layered Snowflake Cut
(available at the LBH)
6x12" piece of burlap 2--3" sections of Christmas greenery

3 red beads & 10" Jute twine

White Cardstock

Kraft paper (thin like butcher paper)Thin chipboard

Adhesive flatback pearls or rhinestones

Button & 18" Thin twine

Brown inks (I used 2 shades of brown)Gold shimmer spray

Heat tool & Hot glue gun

3D glue dots & Liquid glue

 
How to Create this Rustic Snowflake Ornament:

 

1.  Wet and crumple kraft paper. Undo and flatten, leaving wrinkled effect.  Use heat tool to dry completely.  Scrape brown ink pads over wrinkled paper and spray with gold shimmer spray.  Use heat tool to dry.

2.  Cut approx. 2" square and adhere to piece of white cardstock of the same size with liquid glue.  Use smallest snowflake die and cut. 

 

3.  Cut medium size snowflake from plain white cardstock and adhere pearls or rhinestones to the snowflake "spokes".  Set snowflakes aside.

4.  Cut 5 approx. 3" circles from burlap.  Cut one approx. 2 1/2" circle from chipboard. 

5.  Fold over burlap circle like a taco, then fold again in half.  Use hot glue to secure this fold.  Then use hot glue to adhere to chipboard circle, laying the point in the center.  Repeat this with 3 remaining burlap circles until rosette is formed.  (Should look like a pie with 4 slices!)

 

6.  Fold jute twine in half to create loop and hot glue to back of chipboard.  Hot glue last burlap circle over jute and chipboard to finish off the back. 

 

7.  Stack 2 3D glue dots in center of burlap rosette and attach larger snowflake.  Layer smaller snowflake on top of that with another 3D glue dot.  Fold thin twine in half, thread through button and tie a bow.  Use hot glue to adhere this to center of small snowflake.  Trim twine ends if desired.

8.  Twist greenery pieces around jute at top of ornament as desired.  Trim ends if necessary. Add red berries (beads) to greenery with hot glue.
