Are you ready for another quick make? This month I've been showing you how to make die cut ornaments for gifts, for fun and as a part of a family activity. I'm Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and I'm back with the third in a three part series on Diecut Ornament Making. Today I'm going to show you a round, eight gored ornament using S6-129 Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame. If you missed my post with Ornament 1 in the series, click HERE, Ornament 2 in the series, click HERE.
Gather a tassel, bow and embroidery thread. Cut eight ovals with inserts from S6-129 Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame. I used the heart motifs from S5-330 Lunette Arched Borders for the insert on mine. I also cut two small snowflakes from S3-302 Die D-Lite Snowflakes.
Fold all eight ovals in half, rights sides together.
Using Glossy Accents, glue all eight folded elements together. Do this by placing one folded element on table, glue exposed top and stack another element on top of glue. Repeat until all eight pieces are finished. Glue snowflakes back to back on thread with tassel and glue thread to edge of stack.
To finish, close the circle by putting glue on the last piece on top and gluing it to the first piece on the bottom of the stack. Embellish by putting a button and bow on top. Your ornament will lay flat for storage, as shown below. If you want your ornament to retain a consistent shape, simply arrange the gores so that they are even and add a dollop of hot glue at top of ornament.

Thank so much Suzzie!! Many of these ornaments have been on my “must make” list for a while and then I think, would people want to see it? I thank you for your kind words – I might make a couple more!!
Thank you Chelsea!! Lol, much to everyones chagrin, I design dies slowly because I like to marinate on whether I’m packing enough into what it can be used for. This particular die missed an earlier release because I just didn’t think it was ready. I will say that I’m feeling better about the long thought I put into making sure it is purchase-worthy. Thank you so much for your kind words on this!
I love what you’re doing with the dies to make ornaments. I ordered a die just for that reason as the ornament was so pretty. Thank you for your inspiration and I’m sure that the people receiving my ornaments will love them. You have such wonderful products. All of your dies make beautiful greeting cards for me to give and sell.
This is just a stunning ornament. I can just imagine decorating an entire Christmas tree with about a hundred of them. : ) Lots of love put into every one. thank you Becca for inspiring all of us to go just a little bit farther in all our endeavors. Have a wonderfully blessed Christmas. Cyber Hugs and may God bless…Denice with a “c”
I just received my Chantilly Lace dies this morning from Hope and Chance Creativity in the U.K. Will be surprising my friends this Christmas.
Thank you Becca, one again, for the inspiration you pass on to us weekly.
