12 Days of Ornaments Day #4
 
Welcome back to our 12 Days of Ornaments Blog Series! Everyday till November 25th we will be sharing a Handmade Ornament Tutorial with You! This a great way to get ready for the Holiday Season! Today we are sharing a Rustic Snowflake Ornament by Susan Liles!
 
 
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.

  7. Love this ornament. And I have the RC diecut:-). My favorite Christmas tradition is the pickle present. Hide a green pickle ornament in the Christmas tree and the person who finds it gets an extra present.

  11. I love your pretty snowflake Christmas ornament, Susan! Thanks for the instructions! I never would have expected the kraft paper to be used that way.
    My favorite family Christmas tradition is playing board games with everyone, late into the night on Christmas Eve. We used to have a Family Talent Show on Christmas Eve, but my family ran out of talent.
    but my family ran out of talent.
    I'm so happy to be the winner of an ornament! Thank you LBH!
