Holiday Ornaments

Holiday Ornaments

I took a little time over the past few days to make up some holiday ornaments. These are so much fun.  For these ornaments you need some fabric (jelly roll strips, left over scraps, or fat quarters),
2 1/2 inch Styrofoam balls, and a million little straight pens.

You know what they say about potato chips... you can't eat just one...

Well, these ornaments are JUST like that.  They are so fun to make and so great looking that once you start, you can't make JUST one.  So.... you have been WARNED in advance.

I might keep one of these to go with the ornaments I made last year.
I might give one of these away as a gift.
Most of these will be hung on the Christmas tree at my local yarn shop (Yarned & Dangerous in Canon City, Colorado).  All the ornaments given to the shop are put on a tree and shoppers can donate a minimum of $10.00 for an ornaments; the proceeds go to the local Humane Society.

Here are the ornaments I made up this week.  You can click on each photo to see the detail a bit better.












Here is a link to a YouTube video you can watch if you'd like; the video will show you everything you need to know to make these ornaments:  https://youtu.be/fV_XtQ_tJ_A
