This beautiful dimensional star ornament is super, super cool in person. I used the Deck the Halls fabric, but to give it stability I backed all the pieces with cardstock. First I cut cardstock and fabric pieces the same size and then used the Sizzix adhesive sheets to bond the two together. Then I cut the star pieces using the 5 Point Star Bigz die in my Big Shot. Because I wanted the star to be two-sided I cut ten pieces, five for the front and five for the back. The entire star is edged with clear tinsel. That step was a royal pain in my back side! I used two stars at the top of the ornament to cover my mechanics of how I added the holder loop. That added touch is the thing that made me really like the entire project. I repeated the glitter that I used on the top star around the edge of the tag. A big button in the center really brings out the dimension of whole thing. I wish you could see these (I made three) in person, they are really cool.
I had an idea to do this but with the paper. I haven't used the adhesive sheets yet....were they easy to use? I just love the whole thing, glad you shared it....mine is still in my head.
