Our assignment this time was a Christmas one! It was an awesome warming feeling to come in to our school office and find a heart-warming Christmas display. Our assignment was to make Christmas decoration and ornaments with a gold- silver- white theme. My project was to make the bunting. My partner and I made a simple but outstanding and charming ornament for Garland bunting. In this blog I will show you each step in which we took to end up with a beautiful result. Materials that are required are as follows:
- white card-board paper (color is optional)
- liquid glue
- paint brush (for glue)
- scissors
- tape
- pine-cones (quantity is as much as you would like to make)
- potato sack material
- silver glitter
- ribbon (like an apricot- goldish color)
- silver ribbon
- glue gun (only for the ribbon)
Material: Cardboard, tape, pine-cone, scissors 😀
For the first step you’ll need to make the cone out of the card-board paper.
1. you start out by folding a small triangle in corner of cardboard
2.you continue folding until you’ve rolled the whole paper
3.Before you tape the cone, you measure the size of the pine-cone because later on you have to glue it in!
4.Before you tape the cone, you measure the size of the pine-cone because later on you have to glue it in!
5.The tape it to secure your cone shape
6.This is how it should look with the pine-cone able to fit in your cone – but we haven’t glued it yet!
7.Now we trim the ends of the cone!
Step 2:
Here you could choose either to:
- glitter the pine-cones first then stick them in the cone
- or stick them in the cone, then glitter them
Now we glue the inside edge of the cone to glue the pine-cone to it
