Stamping with the STARS #327: Wrapped in Plaid Fun Fold Ornament
November 23, 2019
The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts327. Today we're showcasing a non-card ideas!
There's so many non-card ideas to choose from. But at this time of year, I thought of ornaments or packaging, and landed on a Folded Star Ornament. I made one of these easy ornaments 8 years ago (oh my). Now is a good time to "bring it back"
I pulled out the Wrapped in Plaid Suite of products for my ornament.
How'd She DO That? Folded Star Ornament:
- Stamps: Perfectly Plaid
- Paper:
- Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper (five 3"x 3" pieces)
- Shaded Spruce or Cherry Cobbler (1-1/2" square)
- Whisper White (scrap for Classic Label Punch)
- Ink: Cherry Cobbler
- Other: Bone Folder, Classic Label Punch, Shaded Spruce /Gold 3/8" Striped Ribbon, Nature's Twine, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Jingle Bells, SNAIL
I made two ornament, using two different ribbon/twines. I like the look of the Shaded Spruce/Gold ribbon, but preferred working with the Nature's Twine, as it was easier to thread through the Jingle Bell.
DOstamping Tips:
- Fold each 3" DSP square in half. Then open and fold in half the other direction. Then open and flip over...fold corner to corner. Use Bone folder to crease folds.
- Once folded, it should naturally want to fold down into a "squash" fold...to a 1-1/2" square.
- Adhere folded squares together (keeping them folded and making sure the "open" corner match up.
- When the 5 squares are adhere, adhere a piece of twine or ribbon onto each each- approx 10" each. The "ends" of the twine should come outwards from the "open" corners.
- Cover over the ends/twine with the 1-1/2" squares.
- Thread on Jingle Bell through both pieces of ribbon/twine (one piece at a twine). Then tie the twine together with an overhand knot. Pull down the bell to close the ornament.
- Stamp/punch out sentiment and tie onto one of the pieces of ribbon with Whisper White Baker's Twine.
- To open - pull bell out toward the knot. Flip open the folded star and match ends up. Then pull bell back down to the ornament.

The Folded Star Ornament is a great TV project. Just put on your favorite Netflix show (we're watching The Crown right now) and settle in for some crafting and TV fun!
