Guide Review - winter white - 8 ornament designs -- By Marilyn Gash -
Over twenty years ago, my oldest daughter tried her hand at making a felt ornament with felt using a 4H pattern. I hang that ornament on our tree every year.
This book offers twelve patterns for beautiful handmade ornaments. The examples shown are all done in shades of white, although I can imagine young people, learning to sew, choosing bright colors.
Beads, sequins, trims and decorative threads take these simple shapes and transform them into beautiful handmade ornaments that will be treasured for years.
Like yo-yos, the ornaments are great on the go projects that could be done anytime you have "waiting- time" to waste. I recommend using these patterns to create a set of ornaments for gift giving and exchanges.
