Who doesn’t love Arabesque tile shaped Christmas ornaments?  I decided to design my own arabesque shaped layered mandala ornaments. My Christmas poinsettia ornament SVG is designed for cardstock but can also be used for bass  wood, felt, or foam sheets.  Whatever your cutting machine is compatible with.

In this tutorial, I will show you how to create this layered arabesque Christmas poinsettia ornament, using my Circut and cardstock.  My SVG download comes with 4 designs, with only changing the Christmas word. The bottom 4 layers are the same for all 4 ornament designs.  The Christmas words I include are Peace, Love, Noel and Joy. 

Here are a few supplies you will need:

• Cricut Explore Air 2
• 8.5x11Cardstock (Foil & 65lb cardstock)
• Arabesque Christmas Ornament SVG Bundle
• Foam tape
• Craft glue
• twine
• hot glue

Below is an image of all the cardstock I use. For the foil cardstock colors are, gold, yellow, red, and green.  For regular 65lb cardstock I use, forest green and white.  First thing to do is download my Arabesque Christmas Ornament SVG Bundle.  Upload the SVG file type to Design Space.  Make sure the ornaments at the correct size at 4 inches tall.  For more help on how to upload the SVG file, please view my tutorial video below.

The SVG is ready to cut, so you can click MAKE IT.  Cut out all your different colored cardstock. Cut on Cardstock+ for regular 65lb cardstock. And cut on Custom>cardstock>medium cardstock for the Foil/chrome cardstock.

Here are all your layers cut out for one ornament. There should be 6 layers.

Next, you are going to start with the two bottom layers and place foam tape on the back of the red layer. Adhere it to the solid foil green layer.  Then continue for the yellow layer, and forest green layer.

Now we are going to glue the gold word layer to the whit offset layer.

Use foam tape to apply those two word layers on top of the layered ornament.

Lastly, we are going to cut a piece of twine at 3.5 inches and loop the two ends together.  Glue the ends down with a hot glue gun.  Let dry for a few minutes.  Do all these steps for all 4 ornaments.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, make sure to watch the step by step video below!

Use the same Arabesque Christmas Ornament SVG to create a different look.  In the image below I only used the bottom layer and top two word layers.  For my bottom solid layer I used red buffalo plaid printed cardstock.
