I also use one less pin for each square one I'm past the 1st row (one end will always over lap another and that is where I short it a pin...I think this also lessens the weight). I sell these at a local craft fair in the fall.

I love yours as well. Thanks for posting pics. I love the way that you did your ribbon. I to have also thought of using less pins since they overlap. I wish that I could find christmas fabric like that in my fabric shop.

Wonderful, I was waiting to see if you get these. Have fun with these. Your first one may be frustrating but be patient it gets a lot easier with each one that you do. Please post pics once you have completed some of them.

Great tutorial. I always wondered how those were made. Maybe I can make some this year. I love homemade ornaments.
