Ornament 3D Invert Ends Dble Taper

One piece hull has triangle folds above and below centerline 

in alternate positions which bend inward giving 

this double pointed ornament visual interest. 

Optional narrow offset overlays offer coloring options 

(sample shows only triangles added)­­. 

Punch holes at top and bottom allow for tassels or other baubles 

to hang from below, with tie ribbon or cord at top. 

Ornament measures approx. 2.66” diameter at widest 

x 3.25” tall when assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A ornament body

B upper and lower inverted triangle panel accents

(8)

2. Prepare the body shape by bending back on all

perforation lines, except the angled perforation lines

for the inverted upper and lower triangles . . .

. . . which are folded forward.

NOTE: It may be helpful to turn the ornament body

face side down and bend along the angled perforation lines

from the back.

3. Position and attach the accent triangle shapes

onto the corresponding inverted panel areas,

with narrow offset margins all around accents.

4. Form the body into a tube to bring the straight side

edges to overlap the opposite side tabs to perforation line,

adjust and join in place.

NOTE: that the body shape is symmetrical which

allows it to be flattened so that fingertip pressure

can be placed along the side seam to help secure it.

5. Bend the upper portion inward along perforations

so that . . . 

. . . triangle panels are inverted, and bend triangle top tabs

inward at ninety-degree angles so that they come 

together along three sides.

Apply glue to the tabs, then . . . 

. . . bend the top square panel down into position

so that the straight edges align at tab perforation lines.

Hold in place until secure.

6. Thread tassel, bead, etc., onto narrow cord,

then thread onto long needle and insert through middle

of ornament. Secure cords at top with knot, etc.,

or attach to cord loop. Add bow or other accents.

Here is the completed sample ornament.
