Paper Backed Glass Ornament

The second ornament offered in my ornament class today. Perfect for your tree or to give as a gift.

Cut 1 piece of dsp 6 x 6. One piece can make two ornaments.

Cut 1 6" piece into varying width strips.

Run 2 6" pieces through the bigshot using the biggest scallop circle framelit in the set.

Stamp your sentiment on 2 x 2 piece of whisper white cardstock and punch using the 1 3/8" circle punch.

Punch out 1 3/4" punch out of Cherry Cobbler 2 x 2" paper.

Snip at every scallop just a little bit to give your paper flexibility

Cut a 15" piece of Ribbon and adhere a 1" strip of adhesive to the center.

Punch the top middle of the circle with a 1" punch to allow for the neck of the ornament.

Lightly spread the modge podge on the side of the paper you want to stick to the glass. (You can lightly spray the other side with water but this will add to your drying time but increases flexibility)

Place the modge podge paper on glass and hold in place You will have to continue adding modge podge around the edges. I worked my way around the edges and held for a second.

Once your paper is secure put a light coat of modge podge on the back and set aside to dry.

While you are waiting on your modge podge to dry stamp your sentiment and punch it out.

Punch your Cherry Cobbler cardstock with the 1 3/4" punch and adhere your whisper white sentiment to the Cherry Cobbler. Then punch a hole in the top so that you can hang it.

Add fishing line to your seniment tag. You can hang it on the outside as shown in the project picture or inside as shown here. When I hung it inside I ran and secured through the hole punch and then ran each end of fishing line through the holes provided by the hangers and tied at the top.

Roll your papers that you cut at varying widths.

Add desired amount of Buffalo snow. I have a special blend I buy the regular buffalo snow and then the sparkly Buffalo snow and mix it makes it look more realistic. I put in my ornament with a funnel

Place your paper in the ornament and then hang your sentiment if you choose to have it inside.

Put your ornament back together and tie your bow around the silver part of your ornament choose your favorite hanger and then put on your tree.

Enjoy for a lifetime.

An optional component is to cover the edges of the scallop with sequin or rope trim. Simply cut a piece of your favorite and adhere with tear tape.
