Christmas Ornaments

With Christmas just around the corner, I decided to make the most of leftover materials from a previous project that used kitchen backsplash panels.  I cut the panel into various sizes and trimmed with ribbon to craft a unique ornament that reflects the Christmas lights.

Supplies:
- Backsplash panel
- Ribbon
- Glue
- Tape

1.  Begin by cutting the panel into ornament sized shapes by scoring with utility knife several times.  I used approximately 2″ x 2″ and 2″ x 3″ that corresponded to the design of the panel.

Ready for decorating

2. Attach ribbon to edges on one side and then flip ornament over to attach ribbon to back.  Carpet tape cut into small pieces adhered well to the metal panels.   It takes a little patience to remove the small strips of paper.

3.  Finish by adding a ribbon loop for hanging the ornament. Crazy Glue is great for the ribbon.  Use whatever embellishments you have on hand to create your own unique Christmas ornaments.

That’s it.  An easy addition to your Christmas decorating.
