Bookpage Ornament

This book page ornament was inspired from this post.
I tweaked her instructions after making one for myself. I found it was easier to cut 4 full ornament designs (not just the half she shows), and then glue those 4 together. It gives it a little different look, not as full, but I think easier to create with less of a headache.


I added some silver glitter to the edges to give it some sparkle.


This cute little charm is from the $1 bins at Michaels! I just took the ribbon off of it and used it on the top of the ornament, then hung the charm on the bottom.




I'm lovin' all the handmade ornaments I have gotten done recently. My tree is really starting to fill out now. I just finished 2 more ornaments that I'll show you next week!
