Let’s start with the Supplies: You will need some ribbon, sized pictures of your pets, a brush, a scissor, a brush, a punch (or you can hand cut with a scissors, glue such as Mod Podge…hot glue…wooden round discs or cardboard round discs and some pretty scrapbooking paper and we have provided you with two different color palettes and you can download them right here.

Here are the paper that we made for you to work with…just download this zip file and they are all ready to print!
–
–
–
Time to paint your wooden discs…any color you would like to compliment the paper that you are using.
–
–
–
After you size your pets pictures (I used 1 inch and 1.5 inch circles) you will have to punch them out.
–
–
–
Punch many many 1.5 inch circles (or any size you choose to use)…all different patterns so you can make your little cones. It all depends on how many ornaments you are going to make…how many circles you punch. Then it is time to make your little cones. It is easy as 1 2 3. Take the circle and fold as shown…then fold the other side…then put a little dab of hot glue to close the cone…repeat…repeat…repeat… It’s that easy! You will also need a 3 inch round circle as your base…you can punch it or simply measure it and cut it out.

Just keep on making them : )

Now it is time to start assembling the ornament. What I did is made two layers that I glued together when they were completed. Taking a 1.4 inch circle and drawing a circle with in the middle of the circles as shown. I used that as a guideline as where to glue my cones.
–
Just keep gluing them on till the entire circles are complete.
–
–
–
Time to glue your pets pictures onto the painted circles.
–
–
–
Now simply add some hot glue in the back of the disc and place in the center of the ornament…pressing till it is adhered. Glue a ribbon on the back or punch a hole and thread the ribbon and your ornament is ready to hang!

You can use all different pattern and color patterns…

make one for every pet in the house…
