I bought the largest clear ornaments at Michael's (the cheaper ones, box of 6 says $4.99 but they were 25% off). I think these are a standard size ornament, but I'm not positive. After several tries, I finally got the correct size circle and made a template so I could print directly onto the acetate (transparency paper).
Can someone tell me exactly how to do this? The picture doesn't match the instructions . . Do you just cut out a circle of acetate and stamp it, then color it, then put it in the ornament? The ornament looks though, like it's stamped all over.
:confused:
My insert stayed pretty much upright, but it did sway a little. I feel silly admitting this, but it never dawned on me to put a tab there. I'll try to go back and attach one.
I did mine without the tab by making sure that the little 'clips' in the top are on each side of the acetate. Seems to hold them upright just fine. HTH
I'm not able to download the template again, either. Must have something to do with the conversion. So, if Jessrowe could email them to me, too, I'd appreciate it. They are super easy to make...gettin' the right size was the trick, but Jessrowe did the hard work! Thanks Jessrowe....we love you!!

jessrowe---are the transparency heatable? where did you buy yours? i really want to try to do this, would make great gifts. thanks for sharing this with us ladies.
I just bought the transparency sheets from Staples that can go in your computer printer. I did have to buy a pack of 100 so I split them with other demos. I just used Staz-On and colored with sharpies so I didn't heat set, not sure if they would melt or not. Hope that helps!
I have a question and an answer -- which do you want first?? HA HA!!
Why are you calling this ACETATE?? I purchased a package of HAMMERMILL
TRANSPERENCIES from Walmart - - 10 per package for around $5-7 bucks.....or is acetate just another name for transperencies??
Second - - before putting your 3 inch circle inside the ornament - - drop a couple (just a couple) drops of glue (I used Aleene's tacky glue which dries clear - -any good craft glue will work - just as long as it dries clear) STRAIGHT DOWN into the ornament. Then that's when I added a pinch or so of my DIAMOND DUST also onto of the glue - - and then quickly got the stamped circle inside and used TWEEZERS to get "positioned" just perfectly and held it in place for a minute or two with my tweezers - and then I make sure the prongs are behind the transperency which helps hold it in place.
