Everything Papercraft - Ornare


Originally done using pieces of tin, ornare is a simple and effective technique that involves piercing surfaces to create pictures and patterns with a series of holes. Paper ornare generally uses metal templates that can be purchased in various sizes and designs, from full focal images to borders and corner adornments.  Simply lay a piece of heavy paper or card over a foam pad, place the ornare template on top then prick the paper with a piercing tool or needle following the guide. In the paper craft world, most of us know this technique as paper piercing, which is seen a lot in Pergamano or parchment craft.
