DIY Winter Scenic Ornament [w/ Template] | DIY Gifts | Christmas Countdown

Isnt this cute? All inspired by a youtube channel named PapertreyInk.

They used a set of die-cuts with a big shot machine to achieve those cute little ornaments, great as gifts.

We made a template for 2 different designs and you can totally add your personal touch to it.
Writing a private message, colouring on custom colour designs etc...

Not everyone has a die-cut machine but these ornaments can be hanged anywhere... Literally anywhere... From book bags, as a key chain, to curtains , as a holdback... and of course the most obvious one is on a Tree.

These are cute tiny scenes trapped in a snowglobe like ornament. Go wild and add some glitter or confetti to "make it snow".

Scroll down to get template :)

Tips
I. You can definitely use a silhouette die cut machine if you have one :)
II. You can resize the template to fit your ornament size, the one we are using is 8cm in diameter
III. Water colour pencils are easy but if you can do real water colours , it would look even more artistic
IV. Write any message on the banner to personalize each one of the ornament
V. It even makes a good heirloom/ family tradition to make one every Christmas :)
