From one meg to another, I love this ornament
What a lovely ornament!! I have been searching for ideas online and this one is my favorite. I will try to adapt this idea to fomis or felt, so each student of my homeroom can make one for the classroom tree. Then, they can take it home for the Christmas season! Thank you again!!
Thank you so much! I'm pleased you like this. Bea ... I think it would look great in felt! If it would help, I could send you a pattern. :)
I was so delighted to stumble on your project looking for ideas for my son's 2nd grade Christmas party. I'm going to do these, they're so precious! Thanks for sharing your talent!
Thank you Erika! I'm so happy you found this inspiring!! I would love to see a pic if you make these for the Christmas party!! :)
