Variation on Paper Trunk Bow - Ornaments!

The pieces from the bow posted a few days ago can be used to create beautiful ornaments. To make one of these

follow the instructions for making three layers of the bow. I've used Maybe Baby papers for this one. Attach a hanger to the back of the bow and then cut out a Maybe Baby tag to place in the center of the ornament. I topped mine with a flower shaped brad but you could add any number of things to the middle of the ornament.
Another variation that I came up with includes pins with beads on them, called picks. The picks are placed in some of the points of the ornament to give it extra dimension
Besides hanging these on the treethey could also be put as toppers on packages (this one wrapped with Krafty Paper and Rockabilly)or put onto a card as part of the giftThe card was made with more Maybe Baby papers and tags. Be sure to share all of your creative ideas for these bows and ornaments with us! And, happy the season of holiday craft making!
