Blogging For a Cure Christmas Ornament

I thought it would be nice if we all had a little Christmas keepsake to remember Blogging for a Cure.

We put a lot of work into it. We wrote a lot of posts. We read a lot of e-mails. We deserve something to keep the warm glow glowing on Christmas Day.

So, here’s your own tree ornament(s) to commemorate Blogging for a Cure. (There’s a little message about the event on the bottom of each ornament.)

The only catch is: you’ll have to fold it yourself!

I’ve made three different templates. Here’s what they look like:

And here’s how you use them:

Pick the one(s) you want, download and print it, then follow the directions to fold it into a colorful cube like the ones in the picture! (I’ve got all three hanging on a wreath in the living room.)

(These are pretty large files to ensure a nice print-out.)

Now follow these instruction to turn your print-out into an ornament!

Just one thing to note:

When you get to this step:

You’ll want to be sure the gray star (printed on each pattern) is face up.

Also, these instructions are a little fussier than I am about the final steps. Just cram the tabs in there; it’ll all work out.

That’s all! Hope you enjoy them!
