I made a bunch of these ornaments this month with my clubs and downline and they are so easy. You need the long board chipboard ( pg 205) and the clear circle die (pg 207) to make these. I cut out all of the circles from the chipboard sheets and then covered the back in another old olive cardstock circle. The front is made with scraps of Jolly Holiday designer paper (pg 174) and also scraps of cherry cobbler and old olive cardstock. This is a great way to use up your scraps. THe designer pieces were all 1 inch by 4 inch and the solid colors are 2×4 inches. I used the border punches to jazz them up a little. You lay all of the pieces across the top how you want them, glue them down and then flip it over and trim around the circle. The hanger is the Decorative Label punch folded over the top. That can be found in the holiday mini or the new Occasions mini.
Here is a close up of the button and the sentiment that I topped with the rhinestone. THere is a little bit of a glare in the photo so I am sorry that it is kind of hard to see.
You are batting a thousand in my book. Thanks for sharing these with us. I will have to make some with all my left over pieces of DSP.

This is a fantastic idea. I am going to keep this in mind for my tree next. I love making decorations with my grandchildren and these will be perfect. Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing.
Very nice ornament! I love ideas that help me use up all the scraps I save! Thanks and Happy Holidays to you and yours! 🙂
