On Day 2 of the Twelve Days of Christmas, I showcased a card I created using the Decorative Trees Bundle. Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful ornament crafted with the same versatile dies. This bundle offers an incredible variety of dies, making it perfect for all sorts of holiday projects. Here are just a few of the dies I used to bring this ornament to life—take a look!

Directions for Making a Christmas Tree Ornament

Follow these simple steps and refer to the accompanying pictures to create a festive Christmas tree ornament:

1. Die-Cut the Trees
   • Use the Decorative Trees dies to cut out several trees of your choice. You will need two trees for each ornament.
2. Prepare the Cardstock Strip
   • Cut a strip of cardstock to 1″ x 7″.
   • Score the strip lengthwise at 1/4″ and 3/4″.
   • Rotate the strip and score across the width at 2-1/2“, 4″, and 6-1/2“.
3. Create Triangles from the Strip
   • At each score line, make slits up to the first long score line.
   • Cut angles on both sides of each slit to form small triangles. Be sure to also trim angles on the ends of the long strip (refer to pictures).
4. Fold and Assemble the Base
   • Fold the strip along the score lines to create a triangle shape.
   • Adhere the ends together to secure the triangle.
5. Add a Hanging Loop
   • Create a hole at the top of the triangle using a tool like the Take Your Pick Tool.
   • Thread a piece of Baker’s Twine through the hole and tie it into a knot to form a loop for hanging.
6. Attach the Trees
   • Apply adhesive to one side of the triangle and attach one of the die-cut trees.
   • Flip the triangle over and repeat on the other side with the second tree.

Your ornament is now complete! Hang it on your tree or use it as a festive gift topper.
