8 Thursdays Until Christmas ~ ABC Ornaments

Hi, Sweet Friends!

There are only 8 Thursdays Until Christmas! For some of you, this is no trouble and you never may give it a thought until this week of Christmas.

However, many of you are looking at these weeks before Christmas and making your decorations, creating gifts, and making foods to freeze, can, and give away. It is a busy time in our house from August to Christmas!
This is the 8th of 16 posts will be on making Paper Ornaments. 

You will need to have a few things before you start this project.

 #8 ABC & 123 Paper Ornaments

Supplies:

Printed papers in patterns that have the ABC's Or Something similar, like the ones I have chosen.

Brown Cardstock or similar patterned paper.
  Scissors
Glue stick
String or twine

Mini-clothespins
 ink pads (Cocoa & Desert Sand or Barn Red) optional

* Another idea is to make wooden blocks to glue the printed paper letters onto. Put a tiny eye hook in the top of the block and tie a 3" piece of string onto it to hang.

Mini Clothes Pins

glue stick

string, this one is from JoAnn's

 The inks I am using are from Close To My Heart, in Cocoa & Desert Sand. 

Directions:

1.  Begin by cutting out the letters, numbers, shapes that you are going to be using.
2. Cut out the same number of brown cardstock backs as the above cutouts.
   

3. Lay out the shapes and glue to the brown cardstock.

4. Ink the shape edges in the Desert Sand, as shown above. Or edge the shapes in Cocoa Ink for a more aged look.

I used "Barn Red" to age this set of squares.

5. Let the squares dry and clip a mini clothespin to the top of each shape, as shown above.

6. With a 3" long piece of twine/string, make a loop and tie at the ends.

7. Attach the loop to the mini clothes pins at the tops of each shape.

Now they are ready to hang on the Christmas Tree!
