I see them everywhere. \u00a0Medallions. \u00a0Paper Medallions!<\/p>\n

They are adorable and so easy to make! \u00a0You can create small ones, or very large ones all dependent on the width paper you use.<\/p>\n

But, how do you make these adorable paper medallions to incorporate into your decor?<\/p>\n

Using our Bats in the Belfry Collection<\/a> will add to the spookiness of your Halloween decor.<\/p>\n

Let me show you how to create these adorable pieces, so you can add to your Halloween decor, or perhaps even a birthday or Christmas!<\/p>\n

Tools you will need: \u00a0Paper<\/a>, Trimmer<\/a>, Adhesive (Glue Gun), Multi-Purpose Tool<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Cut two strips of paper to measure the same width. (I cut mine to measure 2-1\/2″ x 12″).<\/p>\n

\"medallion1\"<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Using the Multi-Purpose Tool<\/a>, score the paper lightly every 1\/2″ along the “blade guide” on the trimmer.<\/p>\n

\"medallion2\"<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Fold back and forth on the scored lines.<\/p>\n

\"medallion3\"<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Adhere the ends of each piece using a glue gun to create a single piece. (Unfortunately, the tape runner is not strong enough to hold these together for any length of time.)<\/p>\n

\"medallion4\"<\/p>\n

Step 5:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0Using both hands, gather the top of the paper accordion, pressing the center down.<\/p>\n

\"medallion5\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div>
\"medallion6\" <\/a> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div>\n

Step 6:<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0Keeping the medallion pressed down with one hand, use your other hand to adhere glue with a glue gun. Let dry.<\/p>\n

Completed Medallion:<\/p>\n

The possibilities for this adorable paper piece are endless!<\/p>\n
