Instructions:
1. Cut ornament shape from Silver cardstock, using die cut or follow pattern for shape.
2. Use 22 gauge wire for the following:
- Use Jewelry Jig and follow pattern to form one 5 loop design and one 3 loop design. Remove each from jig, but don’t snip excess wire until you have adhered to the ornament.
- Use wire worker and large metal mandrel to form a ½” coil. Remove from wire worker and snip apart to form jump rings.
- Form a wire hanger for top of ornament with a tight swirl at the base and a loose swirl for the top.
3. Arrange wire loop designs and jump rings on Silver cardstock ornament.
4. To attach the wire and stones, squeeze a good size dollop of Glossy accents into each loop/jump ring and drop in a stone. The loop designs use size #12 stones and the jump rings use size #20 stones. Let dry overnight before proceeding to the next step.
5. Apply a thin line of glitter glue between wire designs on ornament and fill in the top portion.
6. Cut the following papers:
- Black glossy cardstock 2 7/8" x 3 7/8” with round corners.
- Black glossy cardstock 5 7/8" x 9 ½”. Fold in half to make a 5 7/8" x 4 ¾” card.
- Gold textured cardstock 3 ¼" x 4 ¼”.
- White decorative 4 ½" x 5 ½”.
7. Place gold cardstock on white paper. Draw a light pencil line around gold piece and remove. Draw another pencil line ¾” out from first line. Use these pencil lines as your basis for stamping (these will be erased later)
8. Stamp desired words around outside border on White decorative paper with Ancient Page. Allow to dry completely and erase pencil lines.
9. Layer and adhere all pieces on card as follows from the bottom up:
a) Black Glossy card
b) White decorative stamped paper
c) Gold rectangle
d) Black Glossy rectangle
e) Silver decorated ornament (trim excess wire before adhering)
