2017 Family Christmas Ornaments

It's that time of year ...



when the Christmas crafters have a flurry of activities.


My daughters and I began making this year's family Christmas ornaments on the Friday after Thanksgiving.


The body of the bird is red corduroy. The beak is craft felt. The wing is calico. The legs are made of twine. Add a button for the eye. Hang it with a loop of picot-edged red satin ribbon. Cute and whimsical!


We managed to get all the components ready before Melody needed some attention. So I finished them up and the Christmas Cardinals are ready to perch on the Christmas trees.

Inspiration was found on Pinterest with the original design from My Blankies
