THE PAPER VERSION
A rosette
you can cut out.
This is a flat illustrated paper ribbon. It does not make pleated fabric or an accordion-fold rosette. You need one printed sheet, scissors and a place to put it.

Start with the line,
not the scissors.
Open your downloaded print card in a browser. Print on A4 or US Letter using 100% / actual size, with browser headers and footers off. Measure the line under the drawing: it should be 20 mm. If it is smaller, your print dialog has probably scaled the page to fit.
Follow the outside.
Cut around the pointed outer edge and the two tails. The dotted inner circle is decoration, not a cut line. Leave the calibration line and SmallHonours credit on the scrap paper below. For a quicker cut, leave a thin white margin rather than following every tiny point.
Choose a finish.
Ordinary printer paper works as a card enclosure. Paper backed with a second sheet feels firmer; trim the backing after it dries. Check the paper weight your printer supports before using heavier stock. A separate ribbon loop can hang it from a gift; this artwork does not include a wearable fastener.
One useful test: print the blank sample first. Verify scale and legibility on your printer before printing several personalized awards. Colour and font appearance depend on your device and printer; we have verified the digital dimensions, not every physical printing setup.
