Stampin' Up! designer series paper rosette decoration

Each year I like to make a Christmas decoration.

This year, I've made some really large ones!

These are lovely to make - they are just a huge accordian style rosettes.

To make I used:

Designer series paper: 12" x 8",  12" x 2", 3 x 2" circles 

To make large rosette:

On long side; score every 1/2"

Turn to short side and cut in half, so designer series paper measures 12" x 4" (2 pieces)

Join both pieces together on short edge, then fold back and forth

Join at short edges to make a circle rosette

Add lots of glue to one side of a 2" circle

Flatten your scored circle and push and close the centre.

I added a big blob of liquid glue to the centre, then place your 2" circle over the centre

Press and hold until glue has set

Follow these instructions to make a roseette using the 12" x 2" piece.

Adhere smaller rosette to larger... tip: use lots of glue on your 2" circles and they should join together perfectly.

Decorate as you wish... this is a chance to use punches, dies - just anything you fancy -for this one I dug out an old punch and punched out some stars from gold foil, then I added a ribbon bow...soooo pretty!

I punched a small hole in my rosettes so a piece of twin can be threaded through so they can be hung up

   

The designer series paper I used this time, is from my crafty stash, so not available, but they could be made with your favourite!

Happy Crafting!

To make these you do need a trimmer, a score board, scoring tool and lots of glue... you could also do with an extra hand! ))

Glue both concertina circles together and decorate as you wish.

The designer series paper I chose to use is now retired, but you could make these with any paper from your crafty stash
