Ornaments with Checker and Lowercase Monogram

Jazzy Christmas tree ornament includes offset base 

and main silhouette with asymmetrical hanging hook, 

checker panel, partial front panel with lower case letter monogram 

cutout edges (to assist placement). While 'n' is shown here,

all letters of the alphabet are available as 

individual design downloads.

Layered holly sprig with berry circle and trio base. 

Create unique tree decor gifts or package tags, 

spell out holiday words on a banner, or attach to 

the coordinated Card Ornament Holder 5x7 design. 

If preferred, ornament bases included without hook, 

with punch hole instead. 

Optional backside panel folds to create a shallow pocket 

to tuck a folded cash bill inside – or a plastic gift card

(this will show from front). 

Ornament with hook measures approx. 3.75” wide x 5.4” tall. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Begin assembly with the ornament main base,

checker and plain (letter cutout) panels, letter, collar.

NOTE: some of the lowercase letters (g, o, p, s & y) 

will bisect the right panel vertical inward edge in a way 

that produces a "floating" panel piece which will need 

to be retained during cutting, positioned into the "interior" 

of letter cutout once it is placed and attached onto panel.

Additionally, many of the panels will have fragile

narrow necks that wrap around letters that will require

careful handling.

Layer and attach the collar first below hook extension, 

where cut edges align. Next, position and attach checker

and plain/cutout panels below collar, with curved outer

edges aligned with corresponding base edges.

Finally, position the initial letter where cutout edges

indicate, and attach in place; also position any

"floating" panel shapes that will fit into interior

letter cutouts.

(NOTE that if an adjusted position for initial letter

is preferred, a "solid" (without cutout) right side

panel is also included in the cut file.)

2. Position the main ornament assembly onto

the front of the offset contrast base, center from

side to side, and . . . 

. . . match up hook edges precisely,

and attach in place.

Place assembly on a flat surface and press under

a heavy flat object while next components are assembled.

3. Prepare the layered holly sprig . . . 

. . . by centering the vein cutout face shape onto

the offset contrast base, single berry onto 

the triple berry base, and attaching each in place.

4. Position the berries unit onto the top of sprigs unit

and attach in place.

5. Position the berries/holly accent onto the front of

the ornament main assembly, and attach in place.

(If this completes your selected assembly choices,

PRESS under flat heavy weight until thoroughly dry -

up to several hours or overnight.)

6. If desired, prepare the bill cash holder back panel

by bending the panel as shown - valley fold mid perf line,

mountain fold lower perf line.

Add a narrow line of adhesive along curved side edges

of "back" panel, then . . . 

. . . close the panel into its layered form and

apply pressure where the adhesive is underneath.

7. Turn the assembly face down to apply adhesive

to the exposed margin at curved side edges,

and all over back surface, then . . . 

. . . position on the backside of main assembly, 

centered, with outer curved edges of all aligned.

(Also position and attach the optional separate

hook reinforcement shape - see final image of

this assembly guide.)

Press the entire assembly under heavy flat weight

until completely dry to avoid warping or curling.

Make your ornament or gift tag extra special by

folding a bill into vertical quarters and tucking

into the shallow back pocked created by

folded panel.

Alternatively, a standard plastic gift card

can also be tucked into the pocket, but

the GC will show from the front view of ornament.

Here is the backside view of the ornament

finished with the hook reinforcement and

cash pocket back panel.
