I used the images contained in the kit for some and then I decided to use tape to create stripes for the others. There is a photo at the bottom that shows the tape strips being applied.

Sounds like a fun technique to try.
Love the ornaments! Thank you.
I just love what you created with this ornament. It prompted me to buy a couple dozen disk glass globes and some beads. What with my leftover sock yarn strings, glitter etc. I will have a field day in Jan. which is when I start my holiday gifts for the end of the year ahead.
What sort of tape did you use to make the stripes???? It looks like that thn really sticky tape used for scrapbooks etc. But it would be hard to remove wouldn’t it??? thanks for your assistance on that.
