Hanging Geometric Ball Ornament that can be filled with treats #5 Christmas Gift Ideas

Make this fantastic geometric ball hanging ornament that can be filled with a gift or treats for Christmas.  This is number 5 in my series of 12 gift ideas.

So this project is a little bit more complicated than I normally make, but if you take it slowly and follow the step by step instructions it is easier than it looks.

Measurements

Cardstock cut at 8 1/4" x 5" so you can get 2 out of a standard sheet of cardstock

Score at 1" increments on both sides

With the narrow scores on the right hand side fold the first line of scores down and mark at 1/2" on every other square.

Fold the other side down and repeat making a small tick mark at 1/2" on every alternate square

With a ruler and scoring tool score from the tick mark to the corner to form a triangle. Do the same on other side, so you will end up with a diamond shape, with the triangles scored in opposite directions.

Cut away the squares where the triangles are .

Crease on each of the triangle folds.

You can buy a selection of cardstock and patterned paper from my shop HERE

There is a step by step video tutorial which will take you through this process.

Hello and welcome to November Tic Tac Toe Challenge Blog. The line I chose was WINTER, FRIENDS and LAYERS.

This is a fun monthly challenge blog where you chose any line and create a card using those themes.

This card would also work for the line Monochrome, Layers and Punch as the little heart was punched from the dog punch which has a cute little heart too.

I love the font on this stamp set Playful Penguins as it looks hand written which I like very much.

So why don't you join in with the challenge blog. If you are chosen as a winner you get to display a winners badge on your own blog and get to be a Guest Designer for the following month. Just follow the link HERE

Have fun and enjoy.
