Christmas Ornaments

Hello everyone!

I hope you've had a wonderful holiday season.

I know it's after Christmas, but I couldn't post

these before since they were made as gifts and I know

some of the recipients check out my blog now and then.

I have made it a tradition in the last few years to make an

ornament for each person that is at Christmas dinner with us.

This year is a little different, as there weren't many gathered

to celebrate on Christmas or any other time this season.

But I wanted to make ornaments anyway.

I happened to have some patterned felt and thought it would

work well for ornaments.

I found a tree and a star online that was easy to replicate

and made a pattern from them.

I then cut them out, hand stitched them and

stuffed them.

I think they turned out really pretty.

They are easy, pretty and didn't cost me

anything to make, and this year, that is a

real plus.

Once they were sewn and stuffed,

I added some pearl embellishments or 

little "dew drops" that I had in my stash.

Here are the stars.

I think they are just as cute as the trees.

I used embroidery floss to make a loop on top to hang 

from the tree.

I had my husband choose the one he wanted for our tree.

This is the one he chose.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I'll be posting more projects that I made as

Christmas gifts soon, so 

come again and see what I was up to this

Christmas season.

Until then,

think of something new to try in 2021.
