Ornament Experiments

I mentioned "a fun new crafty project" yesterday and if anyone was paying attention they may have wondered what it was.... Well, I'll let you in on the secret: in a couple of weeks I'll be posting a set of simple Christmas ornament tutorials. Christmas craftiness for one and all! Hurrah!
Last night I made a start on sewing some prototype designs to use as examples and had lots of fun sketching and trying out a few ideas. Apart from accidentally giving the snowman, gingerbread man and dove navy blue eyes ('cause I'd muddled up my blue and black sequins! oops) I think they turned out quite well. I'll post them in a series starting as soon as I've got all my instructions sorted out...

These are great! You could make them into Christmas pins as well and they'd be really effective.
