Handsewn Felt Stockings


Stocking Ornaments
I started these by creating my own stocking template on my computer. Then I cut them out and hand stitched a snowflake and finished it with a basic blanket stitch all the way around. I've only created about 6 of these so far... I hope to get 15-20 finished for the tree. The pictured ornaments are only waiting on a ribbon to be stitched into the corner and they will be ready for the tree.

Pinecone Ornaments


Pine cone Ornaments
These pine cones are from a pine tree in our front yard. They are all pretty small - only about 2-3 inches each (some even smaller), which makes them super cute. They have all been glued and glittered -- Ready for ribbons! "Finished" photos to come soon...

Wreath Ornaments Complete!

I bought tons of ribbon yesterday - thank goodness it was 40% off!
So, with my new enormous ribbon stash, I finished all of the wreath ornaments. They are now ready for the tree!



Vaccine Vial Lid Wreaths
Made from wire and the same vial lids as the Snowman. I made almost 10 of these with the vial lids my husband brought home.

Weekend Ornaments

More homemade ornaments created this weekend. Nothing like making Christmas ornaments to get you in the mood for... Halloween...? Oh well, we did the Halloween thing on Sunday, too - full of the holiday spirit, I suppose!


Vaccine Vial Lid Wreaths
Made from wire and the same vial lids as the snowman. These wreaths still need the final touch... a ribbon bow at the top. I made almost 10 of these with the vial lids Chris brought home.



Fancy Round Paper Ornament
Made with scrapbook paper cut into circles, folded and glued together. Ribbon will be used to hang it, and possibly a bow at the top.
I figured out I need to invent a fast paper folding machine..... this is SLOW going....
