Simple Templates aren’t Just for Kids

nov 2006 056 (Medium).jpgI used my moon template to make a very grown up Christmas tree ornament. Use exotic papers, metallic rub ons, rubber stamps and vintage images to turn an ordinary template traced onto a piece of cardboard into an elegant handmade gift any adult would love to receive.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with tin, matboard, or other backing materials. Embellishments such as charms and glass beads can help glam up your ornament even more.

For even more fun, grab materials for the whole family and sit down together to make enough ornaments for the whole tree.
