Ideas wanted - Christmas ornaments(??) from 2-1/2 strips
I've been working on turning a bunch of my late Grandmother's dresses into quilts to give to my aunts and uncles and it looks I am going to have lots of 2-1/2" strips left over after making all of the quilts.
I thought it might be nice to turn those leftovers into Christmas ornaments that I could give out to my cousins. The colors from her dresses aren't particularly "Christmasy" but I think they'll be appreciated anyway.
Anybody have any ideas I could use for this? The simpler the better, so I'll have time to make enough for everyone!
Or other similar ideas? Something small and simple that can be made from a mix of 2-1/2 strips that would appeal to people of all sorts of ages and genders. (I have LOTS of cousins!)

Here's a link with a bunch of ideas.

I like the folded star ornament. I think it can be made on a flat surface, too, but it looks so difficult, but really isn't.
