Felt Ornaments
Dec. 8th, 2011 12:18 pmEveryone at Treadle (including me) is going nuts lately over a new book, Fa La La La Felt.
I promise, the stuff inside is so much cuter than the cover.
I am really not very into Christmas, but I like to exchange a couple gifts and have a few decorations. We used to decorate our aloe plant in lieu of a tree, but in recent years it has become overgrown and floppy, so last year we bought a tree and will probably continue to do so. Point being, a tree needs stuff hanging off it!
I made the Golden Partridge and the Beaded Tassel Drop. I was really ambitious at first about making tons of ornaments, but I think after these two I need to quit for a while because I have so much else to do. Please don't judge the patterns in the book by my low-quality photo.
The projects are not religious and aren't too boringly Traditional Christmas, either, two pluses for me. The only annoying thing is that the patterns need to be enlarged. Full-size would have been much easier, but oh well.
One of my coworkers at Treadle has made a ton of these and is selling them at the shop. If you're local, drop by and have a look!
