Paper Folded Ornament

Designer: Michelle Lanning

Supplies:

Pattern Paper: Making Memories

Embellishments : Making Memories

Ribbon: May Arts

Adhesive Squares: Glue Arts

Instructions:

For this fun ornament I trimmed my pattern paper to 8.5x11.  I then vertically cut 1 inch strips with the entire sheet.  *note: it is best to use 2 sided pattern paper for this*.  Then with all the pieces on top of each other, crease.  You will then staple the center.  With each strip, fold inward and use glue arts squares to adhere to the paper.  Continue and then you will have a bow-like look.  It is super easy, and looks like fantastic!  Have fun!
