Dove Hanging Ornament

 

Dimensional bird ornament is composed of outer hull 

with curved contour lines that bend back to define 

top of body, teardrop trio wing cut outs, eyes, 

and double-punch hang holes. 

Inner hull is slightly offset to provide contrast interest 

at tail and lower body edges and show-thru 

at wing and eye cut outs. 

A curving “bridge” wedge provides bottom body shaping. 

Create a flurry of peaceful dove ornaments on a tree, 

from chandelier, as a wreath element, or nestled 

among the dinnerware as a table favor. 

Ornament measures approx. 4.975” beak to tail 

x 2.625” tall x 1.375” deep.

Star Ornament Inverted Ctr Swirls and Rays

 
Create this festive and dimensional five-points 

hanging ornament by folding the single shape 

along strategic “valley” and “mountain” folds. 

Swirls, punch circle and half-circle curls add interest 

to the point panels and inverted center “star” 

in a nod to traditional luminary lanterns. 

Punch holes pair at top point allow for 

twine or string hanging. 

Star measures approx. 8.75” wide x 8.25” tall 

x 1” deep when fully assembled.

for the assembly steps for a practically identical star.

Fan Star Ornament Three Variations

 
Consider these three fan form large star variations

(Diamond Points, Sawtooth Swirls & Snowflake)

then create some festive decorations.

Hang a dimensional ornament from a peg,

under a chandelier, or as a swag focal point.

Each is assembled from 6 (or more if changed size

or paper thickness required that) star point sections,

fold into a doubled point unit and assembled units into

a 360 degree "fan" to create a visually interesting form.

Hide the intersections on front and back by

centering a smaller embellishment shape.

Add a stud or jewel if desired.

Hanging loop can be attached when including

the two alternate point sections that include hang hole.

Use 12x12 paper stock for most efficient cutting,

two per sheet; 65 lb weight paper or lighter

recommended.

Diamond Points star ornament measures

approx. 10.5" wide x 9.25" tall  2.25" deep.

Sawtooth Swirls star ornament measures

approx. 9.125" wide x 8.375" tall x 2.5" deep.

Snowflake fan star ornament measures

approx. 9.5" wide x 8.375" tall x 3.75" deep.

The assembly of these three star variations follows

the Snowflake Crystal Fan ornament process exactly,

though these three designs are somewhat larger.
