Hi everyone!

I wanted to share something I do with all the little scraps I accumulate-they're Christmas ornaments made out of 2.5" squares of fabric. I got the pattern online from www.make-stuff.com. Here's the link for it:

They are so much fun to make...for me it takes about an hour to do, but it is easy when you are watching (or listening to) TV! Here is a picture of a few of mine:

They are not expensive to make, and my kids' teachers go crazy for them!

I bought some last year at a crafts show and ended up giving them all away--none for me :( Thanks for the lionk. I am going to try this.

Thanks for sharing, they are very pretty.

Those are beautiful, thanks for the link.

These are great! Another good suggestion for those of you who are selling at craft shows--I bet they's sell like hotcakes!

Those are really nice, I'll have to try some of those.

Wow! I"m always looking for new ornaments for XMas.And they will not break as well even better.

Wow--they look elegant!

Wow! those are really pretty, thanks for the link. I always wanted to make some, got to try to make em.

Thanks for sharing your Christmas ornament. I made some in a craft class at our church years ago, but forgot how to make them. Thanks for the site so that I can make more.

bookmarking this.

Exquisite! Thanks so much for sharing. I have to make some of those. I'm thinking they can be used to trim the tree, or to trim gift packages, or as a unique hotess gift or even to put a place setting for your Christmas party. Can you tell I love them? LOL

I have two of these on my tree already!!! Made them years ago

I've seen those before and loved them! Thanks for the link, now I might be able to make some!

:) Adorable. Thanks for the link.

Stunning!!!!

These are a lot of fun to make and a great way to use up scraps and they are also spectacular made from the fancy glittzy wired ribbon you can find at the dollar store. If you wait till after Christmas, you can often pick it up for less than a dollar a roll! The dollar store is also a great place to pick up the massive amount of pins you'll need to make these....you can get about a 1000 for a dollar! Here's a hint that I found making these easier.....instead of trying to pick up those pins out of the container, I pick up a glob of them on a round magnet. They come up in a jumble and are a lot easier to get ahold of while you're working.

Those are so elegant. Going to have to try one or two or three.

Ooohhhh, I can already see one of my trees decorated w/ these and some red beads....thanks for sharing.

Neat! I might have to do some of them for Christmas gifts.

Bought one many, many years ago - was always curious as to how they were made. Saw your post this morning - went out and bought styrofoam balls and pins and have one half made. Thanks

I just put the "ingredients" on my Joann's list. I am going to make some for my Oct & Nov Craft Fairs. Any idea how much they should sell for?? I never know and always hate to go too high or low. I need suggestions!

Oh I really love those.....A whole tree done in those would be beautiful. I would like to try some. You did a wonderful job on them.

Thanks for the link.
