Day 3 for the 12 days of Christmas AWDML!

Here's a Tutorial on how to make a Paper Pinecone Ornament. I just want to note this is NOT something I have made up I've seen several tutorials on this I'm just simply passing on the way to make these adorable pinecones.

Just a Reminder all American Crafts products are on sale this month!

Day 3 Sale at AWDML

Glue Glider Max Dispenser and refills 50% off!!

Supplies:

Paper Cutter, Cardstock, Ribbon, Buttons, 3 in. Styrofoam Ball, pins.

Cut a 12x12 piece of cardstock in 2 inch stipss



Then cut all of the 2 in strips at 1 inch. So you have have a handfull of 1in x 2in pieces.

Fold the corners down..

So it looks like this make sure the side you want showing has the folds on the opposite.

Fold them all..



On the ball pin all 3 sides..this will be the bottom of your pinecone.

Add 3 more pieces so it looks like this,

On the opposite corners add another of the folded triangles like here.

Repeat...

As you go up higher you can start to see the pattern and the pinecone taking shape.


Once you get about half way pin your ribbon to each side like shown here.

And continue up the ball..


Until there's no more styrofoam showing.


Add a bow and if you choose put a button in the center!

Hope you enjoyed this Tutorial!

Made You Look Monday AWDML!

I just love the way this page came out, I really love these pictures of my son. One of my favorite things to do with Bazzil ribbon is to use glue dots and make this wavy ripply effect with my bows. It adds such dimension to layouts and looks fabulous on cards as well!

Scrapbooking with Polaroids ...

I have a ton of Polaroids, from when I was younger and even when you go to resturants and they snap a picture on your Birthday you get a polaroid. This was at Benihana's on my 26th Birthday, all you have to do is cut a desired sheet of cardstock and use your choice of Nestabilities and put your picture under it.. I just love this paper, it's currently out of stock, I used some Distress ink on the edges, I used my bag of buttons, I love these things, you can get hundreds of buttons all sizes for $5.99. I used my Pink Pasilee alphabet for my "26" title.

Thanks For looking!

It's my turn to do a product spotlight over at A Walk Down Memory Lane. I just love these Prima Blingy swirls. I was hesitant to get these because when you glance you think oh well theres only a few swirls in there, but once I got them I seen how easy it is to simply cut off a swirl or 2 and use them for smaller areas on layouts I have even used them on my cards. I love these swirls and they really brighten your creations! These particualar swirls are out of stock but I have linked to a very similar set of swirls. Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!
