Nearly weightless ornaments seem to hover rather than hang. The honeycomb paper, cut into curvy forms, opens into translucent layers. Vintage metallic beads are used as accents. Trace shapes onto the paper, and unfold them for the three-dimensional effect -- the ornaments are as easy to make as paper snowflakes.
1. Trace templates (download them here) onto honeycomb paper; position paper so that its lines are perpendicular to dotted lines on templates. Place double-sided tape on 1 side of cutouts. Unfold to make shapes; pinch taped seams closed with tweezers.
2. Use a pin to dab clear fabric glue onto center; press inward to bind. Lay flat; gently weight with a juice glass. Let dry 30 minutes. Slide a metallic bead onto middle of an 8-inch length of 32-gauge tinned copper wire. Twist at bead. Use a pin to make a hole in glued center; pull both ends of wire through until bead is flush with center. On reverse side, thread 1 end of wire through 1 hole of a second bead; thread other end of wire through bead's opposite hole. Twist ends to secure; trim excess. Gently open taped seam; sandwich an 8-inch-long silver cord in seam to form a loop.
3. String a small metallic bead onto middle of a 20-inch-long silver cord; knot to secure. Use a tapestry needle to thread ends of cord up through bottom pendant; secure taped seam with clear fabric glue. String a large bead onto both ends of cord. Thread cord up through top pendant; glue seam. Knot cord to form loop.
I downloaded the template for the floating ornatments but the template is incorrect. I get the "clown ornament" template instead. Please correct the link as i would love to make some of these ornaments for Christmas presents. Thanks a million. I love having access to all the MS templates.

Excellent customer service.
The company referenced in the article still sells the custom made paper thru mail order. the contact information is posibendr@socal.rr.com (please note unusual spelling of email address) and 714-377-0871

Please give us another source for the honeycomb paper or perhaps Martha's line at Michael's will carry it in the future?
Thank you faithful crafters for finding a source for honeycomb paper.Did I miss the reference of where it can be found on the instruction? If so, why wouldn't it be included in a list of items needed?
If you read down on the Kamya site they say that their source is discontinuing the paper.
The source I used did answer my email and they are still selling the paper. The email address is: posibendr@worldnet.att.net
Another source for paper is. http://www.kamya.com/honeycomb2.html
Here is the company that I bought the honeycomb paper from back in 12-06. She was selling it on eBay but I can't find it now. The site is under construction but there is a phone number. http://www.posibendr.com/boweasy.html Good luck! I hope she's still selling the paper. Kathy
HelenBC thanks, I'd also had a difficult time locating the Honeycomb paper.
I don't get it. You offer a craft of the day and you don't give a source for the ingredients? I'm at a loss here. And the directions are vague. Help!

I was able to download template. I was looking for something lightweight to hang to enliven a boring ceiling that would not be dangerous and this looks perfect! . I plan to use these simple lightweight ornaments to decorate a banquet room for my daughter's party. Thanks Martha I'll post pitures of the room after the party!
