3D Winter Chalet Scene Instructions

Digital die cut template for this winter scene ornament is available for sale in the Silhouette Online Design Store HERE.

To complete this project you will also need glue, adhesive foam squares, one half of a clear plastic 80mm ornament, fake snow or glitter, ribbon or bakers twine and glitter glue. A washer or small coin and some tape is also recommended.

Step 1

Cut all template pieces. Cut two of the scallop edge base piece. Glitter cardstock makes for a magically sparkly ornament!

STEP 10

Adhere all layers to the base scallop layer (if a clear ornament is not going to be added, you might choose to use the scallop shape with the hanging hole at the top, not shown here.) Add glitter glue accents if desired (not shown here.)

STEP 11

Add some fake snow to the inside of the ornament. Add glue to the top edge. Just a warning, although these tiny foam ball type of fake snow are super cute they are also challenging to work with. They are static will stick to everything, including the shapes inside the ball and your work surface, the glue, and inside your dogs nose. You’ve been warned! :D

STEP 12

Carefully place the paper scene onto the top of the ornament, adjust to fit before the glue dries. Add glitter glue around the outside of the ornament to ensure that it adheres to the paper base, as well as adding a sparkly accent.

STEP 13

Tie ribbon or bakers twine to the ornament to hang. If the ornament hangs lopsided to the front, add a small washer or coin to the back. Glue a second scallop base to the back. This should help counterweight the ornament.

STEP 14

After the glue has dried, the snowy winter scene ornament is ready to decorate your tree! (Remember what I said about those foam balls, they stuck to the trees like magical snow balls one stuck to the top of the chalet and would not shake off. It amuses me!)

Happy creating and happy holidays to you and yours!
