Start by cutting out as many ornament pieces as you’d like using the provided templates. The more ornament cutouts that are used, the more detailed & layered your finished product will be.

[{"selector":"#anim-382d4b48-29d0-4fdc-9e5f-42de375698a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91ecc152-52b6-413f-81d7-75936aaa1c31","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -407.38303%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":800,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11619025-ca3f-46c3-bdcd-6213f79f4e69","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-15b81899-ca58-4dbe-ae97-f4bbcacbbc7c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -124.16332%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":300,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Fold each of your ornament cutouts in half lengthwise. If you want a more detailed ornament, try for 14-15 folded pieces but use no less than 10.

[{"selector":"#anim-814aa8b5-aa30-4dad-88a9-1cbf8cff60d5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4e89ae62-6e76-4542-975e-9c435e553396","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 475.16843%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Now that each piece is folded add a strip of glue down the lateral side of each ornament & add another folded piece on top.
