Difficulty:
(1/5)

Supplies

• Metal tin with clear top (I got mine at Target in the wedding section as a pack of 30)
• Christmas stamp (Or any stamp you want to use inside)
• Two pieces of card stock (one to stamp your image on and the other for the background)
• Scallop punch
• Circle punch that fits inside the scallop
• Watercolor pencils or markers for coloring the image
• Stamping ink
• Crop-A-Dile
• Fake snow
• Ribbon
• Dimensional mounting tape
• Pair of scissors
• Mounting tape
• Crystal Effects or other similar glue

Instructions

1. First stamp the image you are going to use on card stock and then punch it out with your circle punch. Also make a scallop from your colored paper.
   
2. Next, color your image.
   
3. Adhere your colored image to your scallop.
   
4. Now take about 3 pieces of dimensional tape and adhere them to the back of the scallop. You could use more or less dimensional tape to make it the way you want!
   
5. Put the scallop inside the tin and press down to make it stick.
   
6. Now take your Crop-A-Dile and make a hole in the top. I used the 1/8 hole. If you do a bigger hole (to fit larger ribbon) you can even put a dab of glue in the hole to keep it in place...do that at the very end.
   
   
7. Now thread both ends through the hole, making sure not to pull your loop through. (I just picked a random length for my ribbon. You can make it as long or short as you want.)
   
8. Tie a tight knot in the end of the ribbon and cut the excess from the bottom of the knot.
   
9. Take a couple pinches of the fake snow and add them to the tin. I used white and glittery snow.
   
10. Put a small bead of Crystal Effects or other glue around the top edge of the tin.
    
11. Press down the lid and then wipe off any excess glue.
12. Set your ornament aside to let it dry!
    

Another way you could attach the ribbon would be to put tape all the way around the outer edge after you have glued it shut. Start at the bottom with the two ends and make them connect at the top to form a loop.

Enjoy! I would love to see any ornaments that you made! I think these are so much fun! I'll leave you with a couple other examples.
