( http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/Default.aspx ) "A Dash of Christmas Damask Design Pack - Sm " & "Filigree Ornaments in the Hoop X10103, X10104, X10105,X10106, X10107 & x10108." I didn't follow their instructions but opted to do them my way. The Damask designs I embroidered onto white felt, cut a backing for them and blanket stitched by hand, filled with poly filling adding a hanging loop and hot fix crystals. The filigree In the hoop designs are appliques and again I appliqued them onto felt, cut a backing of the same felt, blanket stitched by hand, filled with Poly filling, added a loop and hot fix crystals. The applique fabric I used was both satin and taffeta.
My little Koala and Kangaroo were done using this method as well, they were Australian animal Applique designs from Designs in Stitches : http://www.designsinstitches.com/Aussie_Appliques.htm I added a little holly design to make them more like Christmas.
You can make any design into an ornament by following this method.....Your imagination is the limit!

More Ornaments I have made
Here are some more pictures of recent ornaments I have made. I first started making Christmas Ornaments for my own tree and then for family in the 1980's mostly using McCalls patterns then. I still have the very first ones I ever made.
