felt snowflake ornies :)

so you can see i got a bit carried away......
i saw this beautiful felted snowflake on Pinterest and you wouldn't believe how easy they are to make......a big thank you to Steph for great instructions.....

i did make and takes at the work Christmas night as well as taking them to craft where the girls have been happily stitching away....
i also had a Christmas craft night at home too the other night with Charlie and her friend and neither of them are really hand stitchers but they got beautiful results...
i did get a  bit experimental and played around with different threads, ties and backing....this one has vintage music sheet in it.....i think its easier to use a glue stick tho if you are lining with paper , its not as flexible as felt or fabric.




after i made the white ones, i thought a garland would be cute.....i made these with different colors foil fabric behind and have displayed them on my little wall that hopefully will be getting paint job after Christmas.....

the wall does looks a bit bare still ,i need to tizzy it up.....

they would look cute all draped around tree tho....





i used my star and heart punches [spotty sells them]but you can use hole ones like in the directions which are
really clear but if you have any problems , yell out.....oh and a white gel pen is great on dark colors of felt...

last night i made 30[yes 30] Christmas cards in an hour , so get out your washi tapes for the next post :)

Thanks for the link Jenxo, these are cute and how easy. Wish we could have done a blog hop maybe next year but this is fun just scooting around blogland for ornament ideas etc. I have some left over felt and love the music paper, it gives a different look and feel to this. These would also look cute on gifts for tags and then the recipient could use them as a tree ornie too. :)♥♥♥
