Love these! Any chance you have instructions for them? Besides using them as ornaments I just thought what fun package toppers they would be. Beautiful.

Thank you and you are right I can think of lots of ways to use these too! It doesn't show up in the photo but they are made of a really pretty silver-grey metallic paper.
They are actually fairly easy to make:
Cut 2 Fleur de lis squares and score each on the back side from point to point creating a big scored X. Then flip over and score the other side a 1/4 or 1/2 inch on each side of the score marks you already made, you now have one mountain fold and 2 valley folds each way.
Score the top flake from the back 4 more times along the sides so it will lay down into the other square. Glue a circle to the back side for support. Thats it, your ready to glue/tape it all together and add a center rosette or other embelishments to the front.
