BECCA FEEKENS SPELLBINDERS ORNAMENT - MY TAKE ON IT.
Please click here to go to Becca's web site where she demonstrated her part in the Pendant Blog Frenzy and see her original design. This is how I duplicated it.
4 of the large Dies Fold
the large dies in half top to bottom and then side to side.
Do this with all 4 pieces. When you have them scored and folded
they should look like this:
Do this with the other 2 halves also. You can use double sided tape or your choice of glue, but make sure it is a strong hold.
Do the same with the small center pieces. Fold top to bottom and left to right. Then make a cut as you did with the large pieces. These a a bit harder to do than the larger pieces. You can make a score line from the tip of each fleur de lise, before you cut, which should help when you try to fold them. Once again, if you go through the centre line, you have done it correctly. Glue 2 together and then glue to the larger piece,
placing the folds in between the the folds of the larger piece.
Once everything is glued together, put a brad through the center or some
bling of your choice, then glue to the circle you cut out, making sure you
have it centered. When you are done with one side, it should look like
this:
Bear in mind that my circle is a little too large, 3 1/4 inches should be just right. Do the same with the other pieces for the other side and glue to the other side of the circle. Tie some ribbon to one of the tips and you have your ornament. I also put a little pearl at the bottom of the Fleur De Lise just above the cut out.

These
are the items you need to cut with your Spellbinders Fleur De Lise Pendant
Die.
Make
score marks where I have drawn the lines on my photo. If you go
through the center each time you know you have done it correctly. Cut
one side as I have done in the photo to the left.
Join
2 of the halves together to form a circle.
This
is the ornament that is showing in my box, you can see better how they fit
together and also where I put the little pearls.
