NO I just go to Walmart and buy regular steel pins... I had to go every couple weeks because I would buy them all up... It takes 200 pins for one ornament..

It takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes to put it together, plus another 15 -20 minutes cutting your fabric.

Wow! Everyone you did is like a work of art! The people that are getting them are very lucky.

thanks marmalade.... I'm sure my friend in the nusing home will have a lot of fun giving them to the staff that takes care of him... Every year I make 30 gifts of some kind for him to give to the staff that takes care of him.... He loves to be able to give them something different and they love to get it!

My sister and I made one each over the weekend. Still have to finish the edging and a hanger, but will post a picture when I'm done. It looks pretty good!
