Monday Challenge ~ Xmas Decs ~ By Jayne Loughlin

Hellooooo

I have made book print Decorations today. You could use your own colour theme and make them with patterned papers.

Items needed: Paper, Trimmer, Cotton, Fiskars Effervescence border punch, Adhesive.

Instructions: Cut Eight 9″ x 2″ paper strips for one Heart decoration.  Trim one inch off two strips, 2″ off two strips & 3″ off two strips, leave the last 2 strips 9″.

You need to punch the edges with a Border punch, I punched one long edge ..it’s up to you if you want to punch the two.

Glue one of each size of strips together at the tops in order of size. Do the same with the other four.

These need to be glued together (The small strips should be on the outside.

Then you need to glue the bottoms lining the bottom edges up like you did the tops to form a heart shape. The short outside strips are now inside.

Add cotton loops to hang. You can thread a few of the hearts to make a garland or just single for a decoration on your Tree. Perhaps add glitter or ink if they are too plain for you.

Let us see yours if you try & make these too
