There seems to be a movement back to creating handmade ornamments, and since they can be used for everything from decoratiing a tree or mantle, adorning a present, or added to a holiday wreath, making your own ornaments adds a festive and personal touch to your holiday. Here are links to some of my favorite handmade ornament tutorials:
Sunshine's Creations has provided a tutorial to make her adorable Embroidered Felt Ornaments, using cookie cutters!
At Disdressed, Liesl has provided instructions AND a pattern for her Mitten ornaments.
These soft trees from Stephanie Congdon can be customized in so many ways...buttons, ribbon, embroidery - the options are endless!
Making ornaments is a perfect way to personalize and add meaning to your holidays, and to use up those scraps in your sewing basket. Who wouldn't love to get something that was made just for them tied to their Christmas packages this year??
