Ornament 3D Star Curved Sides

Carefully bend along the curved perforation lines 

of combined front and back ornament panels, 

slip a knotted ribbon hang loop in at top where shaped “hole” allows, 

then bend the panels together to slip the edges of “back” panel 

under those of front, and glue closed. 

Add petal shaped or rounded pentagon offset accent shapes 

to walls as desired. 

Measures approx. 4.5” tall x 4.5” wide x 1.5” deep 

when assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A curvy star hull (connected front & back)

B front & back offset accent overlay (2)

C side facet pointed oval offset overlay shapes (5)

2. Prepare the body by carefully bending along

the curved perforations that connect the front and back

panels, and also nearer the perimeter of hull shape.

3. Identify the top of the ornament which is where

a small "hole" cutout is located, as connected front

and back shapes converge. Use the "top" location

as orientation to determine the positions of the star offset 

accents, but DO NOT attach these until the star hull

is shaped.

Also "audition" where the side facet shapes will go.

4. Keeping track of the TOP of the star, begin to

fold the back and front together, with the back's edges . . . 

. . . fitting inside the front's curved-edge walls.

5. Once a test closing is performed, open up the hull

to flat form and apply adhesive to the BACK

edge oval shapes only . . . 

. . . both near outer edge and also near inward

curved perforation lines and bends.

6. Re-bend and tuck the back oval walls behind

the front walls and attach in place, taking care

that front edges end up positioned along the curved

perforation lines of back. 

7. Before positioning and attaching the accent shapes,

add some curl so that their forms match the curvature

of the 3D ornament body.

For side facet ovals, add upward curl to the ends

and centers.

For face rounded star shapes, add backward curl

at points.

8. Position and attach the accent shapes

onto the faces to which they correspond, with

narrow offset margins all around.

Here is the front star being added.

Here is the first of the side ovals being attached.

9. To attach a hanging loop or hook array,

add a "stop knot" at bottom, then slip knot

to the inside at the top position prior to

completing the final side overlap and seam . . .

. . . then folding the final side wall into position

to attach and complete the ornament.

Here is the completed curvy star ornament.
