Twelve Hexagon Shaped Christmas Ornaments

Christmas tree with twelve hexagon shaped ornaments

 Christmas Ornaments

Every year I like to add more paper ornaments to my Christmas tree.  This year I made twelve hexagon shaped ornaments in remembrance of the twelve days of Advent.  Of the twelve ornaments, I made six religious ones. The twelve days of Advent begins with the birth of Christ on December 25 and ends on the Feast of Ephiphany, January 6.  This is the day that the three wise men of the East (Magi) follow the Star of Bethlehem to worship him and give him gifts.


Here is the PDF.  I used 65 lb. white paper and foil cardstock from Michaels.

Here is the .Studio file for the ornament.

Here is the SVG.  The file extends beyond the viewable area.  Zoom out to see the entire file.



Glue and adhere the scalloped edge strip at the tab.

Glue the frame around the design. Apply glue to the tabs of the two hexagons, front and back panel, shown on the right.

Splay the hanger tabs.  Insert the front panel with the design.  Move the panel around so that there is an overhang with the scallops. Repeat for the back panel.  I inserted a pencil from the from of the panel to help align the back panel's scallops.

Insert the hanger tabs into the decorative strip.

Apply glue to the tab and the bottom of the scalloped hexagon and adhere.

Insert a 7 inch piece of thread through the two holes and make a knot for the hanger.
