Red and Black Buffalo Plaid – Sue's Creative Workshop

How to make a Plaid Tidings Embroidery Hoop Ornament

I guess you might say I’ve gone a little overboard on the Buffalo Plaid this year.

How can I help myself, I just love it all.

I got a little inspired by a Christmas ad I saw for clothes and decided to make this ornament.

It’s another quick and easy Holiday Ornament to make.

A perfect little gift for your Plaid Loving friends like me.

Directions:

Cut two pieces of Red and Black Buffalo Plaid paper 6″ x 8″.
Run both pieces of paper design side up through the Xyron Creative Station*. As the paper moves through the Creative Station it adds adhesive to the underneath side of the paper. You get full and complete adhesive covering on the paper.
Cut two pieces of Mat Board* 6″ x 8″.
Adhere the buffalo plaid paper onto each one of the mat board. (underneath will be plain)

Lay covered matboard on top of the house ornament die and sandwich it between two sizzix cutting plates. Run the die, mat board and cutting plates through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine*. The Big Shot will cut out the house shape and two tiny houses that you can use on a later project.
Cut two houses shapes.

A Merry Little Holiday House bits and pieces.

Carefully fold on the scored lines.
Cut off the top tab with the two holes on both houses. (This tab is used if you want to make it an ornament.)
You will also need to cut the bottom flap from one of the houses.
Use Super Glue to assemble the house. Glue all sides of the house together before gluing the roof tabs. Leave bottom tab unglued so that you can add a small battery operated tea light.

For the Roof: Cut a piece of Black Corrugated paper 2 1/2″ x 4″. Fold in half and glue to top of the roof.
Place two small pieces of white matboard over the window section of the ornament house die and run through the big shot die cutting machine. Trim around matboard to create two small windows. Glue windows frames onto house.

Add the “Merry” chipboard sticker from the Christmas Market Chipboard Accents to the front of the house.
Make wreath out of a 6″ piece of the craft pine stem.
Create a small bow from the red twine and glue onto front of wreath.
Glue wreath to front of the house.
