Step 1
Start by cutting out as many ornament pieces as you’d like using the provided 3 free templates. Want all 9 signature designs? Pick them up here! There won’t be an exact amount needed at this step, but the more ornament cutouts that are used, the more detailed & layered your finished product will be. For each ornament, I like to go with AT LEAST 10 cutouts to get a good result.Step 2
Fold each of your ornament cutouts in half lengthwise.Step 3
Now that each piece is folded, add a strip of glue down the lateral side of each ornament & add another folded piece on top.Step 5
Add glue to one end of your ornament stack and bring both ends around to meet each other. This will create your dimensional rounded ornament.Step 6
Spread out the various layers so that you have a nice even shape all the way around your 3D paper Christmas ornaments.OPTIONAL
