Step by step to create your Christmas ornaments
Cutting designs
The first thing we will do is to carefully cut out the cards you have printed. These will be the base patterns for your ornaments. If you feel like it, you can also design your own dinosaur figures and give them your personal touch.
Trace and cut out
With the designs cut out, trace their shapes onto the cardboard and EVA. Once traced, cut them out carefully, remember there are no rules here! You can change shapes or add details according to your imagination.
Create the stamps
Take a pencil and place a dot of hot melt glue on the tip. Then, glue one of the cut out EVA designs onto the pencil and you have a unique and personalized stamp for this craft!
Jurassic print
Now comes the fun part: stamping. Use your favorite colors to paint the EVA rubber of the stamp and stamp the patterns on the cardboard. Your Christmas dinosaurs will start to come to life! 🎨🦖
Decorate your ornaments
It’s time to fire your imagination! Decorate the stamped ornaments by adding glitter, lines, dots or any detail you like – make them as magical and Jurassic as you like!
Final touches
Use a hole punch to make a hole in the top of each ornament. Thread a piece of string through the hole, tie a knot, and they are ready to hang on the tree.
Your ornaments are ready!
