Christmas in July: Ornaments from Die-cuts

Many years ago I did a few posts about making ornaments from die-cuts. At the time, I made them using  Cricut cartridges. These are some of the most-read posts and most frequently pinned.  To read more about those ornaments and gift toppers please visit here,  here, here, and here. When I saw the Altenew Stained Glass Medallion Die set, I knew I wanted to try making ornaments and gift toppers using them. There are many, many photos!







The center of this ornament is a die cut made out of Sizzix black shrink plastic. There is one on each of the sides, glued onto the ornament with a glue gun.













To make the ornaments, you need several identical die cuts and then fold them in half. The more die-cuts, the fuller the ornament.

Making this type of project is one of my favorite crafting things to do. A video will be posted later this week with additional instructions. If you make any ornaments or gift package toppers, please let me know. Happy July!
