Howdy folks! Why does it seem like time speeds up after Thanksgiving? Is it just me? I spent most of the day picking away at card elements for my mass produced handmade Christmas cards and I think I may have developed carpel tunnel syndrome from stamping and punching…stamper tunnel syndrome…huh, I think I just coined a new phrase LOL! Well, if you have to oomph to punch some papers into circles you can make these cute ornaments:
They would be cute on the tree or decorating a gift. Here’s how to make them. The paper is by Oriental Trading Company.

One word of caution, don’t use the glue gun when you are sleepy. Friends don’t let friends glue tired. Wow, that didn’t even make sense, I am way to tired to be blogging tonight ha ha ha! Well, thanks for stopping by and til next time (when I am perkier) happy crafting!

I just put up the tree over the weekend, but didn’t have time to decorate. I’m in need of some hand crafted decorations, so I think I’ll give these a try. Thanks Lindsay!

I’m not good at glue guns when I’m not sleepy either. I have strings in my hair.

I thought these would be hard to make but with a circle punch and a glue gun they are a cinch. TFS. Going on my ‘to do’ list. Feeling the pressure here to catch up to Christmas too–15 days until it’s here!! Hard to believe.

I made some of these years ago – before I had a circle die or punch of any kind. I had to hand cut the circles which were not always circles when I finished. I still have one hanging up in my lower studio just to remind me not to make any more!!!

In reply to the comment you left on my blog – yes, a casserole cover wraps a hot casserole dish to keep it hot while being carried to a potluck. The ones I made are my own design…..I hate following patterns.

Thank you for this fabulous pattern! I tried it and it worked perfectly. I did use tacky glue (because I would just burn my fingers using hot glue….) so I took my time holding the pieces together, but it worked great. 🙂

Lindsay – I didn’t have a 2″ punch, so instead, I made an SVG cut file. I have the SVG cut file of (20) 2″ circles and just the right size triangle for the fold lines if you want it. I cut the triangles (3 in the cut file) out of lightweight chipboard and glued them together. I’ve made a few and it is a perfect fit for the 2″ circles. I couldn’t find your email address on your blog to send you the SVG file. If you want it could you please email me? jenscreationstation at hotmail dot com. Thanks and I love your videos and all the different crafts you share with us!
