Clothes for Ornament?!?

Yep, that’s right, I made a pretty little hat for my ornament as part of the Nutcrackers in November challenge six (Sick of hearing about that yet?  Well, I have quite a few projects to go!).  This challenge was close to me because it was mine to create a design for.  I made six different hats for the challenge.  It was quite the challenge (no pun intended) to come up with designs that whatever cutting machine someone used they would be able to at least cut one smoothly.

I choose the poinsettia.  Here it is before I added a curve to the leaves.  The Martha Stewart crystal glitter was still wet, I needed pictures so I didn’t want to touch the leaves.

Side view.  I think I like it straight like that.  I used a lot of glue, I don’t know if it will even bend.  🙂

I was right, too much glue.  It doesn’t want to bend that well.  Now it looks like a shag haircut.  I think he will be called Ringo from now on.

Here’s a close-up.  Doesn’t he look like a Ringo?  I think so.  Hope you enjoyed my little ornament hat today.  If you would like to take a peek at the files, please go to the Nutcracker challenge page on the Make the Cut forum post number six.  Go to my Die-Cuts page to download the ornament toppers set for free.

Note:  If you download the file, you will need to measure your ornament opening and resize the file accordingly.  Since there are so many different sizes, I made them to fit the one I had.  That may not be the right size for you.  I had a friend test cut and she said it was too big, when I cut it for mine, it was too small.  Go figure.
