And not being happy with the other ornaments I made, I'm now making little wool birds from the free online pattern I got from that pin.
Now the template said blow it up 100% but I did 200% because I wanted a larger bird. There were no directions and I loved the colors Cheri made hers in.
I decided to sew them on the machine, making sure to catch the twine hanger in the stitching. Leave a bit of opening in the bottom to stuff some poly fil into.
Then back on the machine to seal that up.
The hand sewing really makes these cute.
Add a wing to both sides of the body using a whip stitch in gold.
Then sew the eyes on making sure to sew through to the other side and catch that one.
Looks like a crawfish. Then use a blanket stitch and go all around your little red bird ornament.
This is one of thousands of ideas on Pinterest. I hope you find it as fascinating as I did and become a pin head yourself. If you do, let me know I'd love to "follow" you. Have a very peace filled week. Laural
