I really thought a project for a color challenge would be easy to come up with. And then we got one, and I drew a big fat blank. Finally, last night, I looked at what materials I had that fit with the color, white. White felt stood out, especially as something I could whip up quickly. At this rate I'm going to have enough Christmas ornaments to decorate a whole tree, just from Iron Craft challenges! But I like making them, and they're usually quick and easy.
I wanted to do a poofy tree with rounded branches, and I think I accomplished that. I drew a pattern on felt, and cut it out. I sewed the crystal beads (leftover from Challenge #1 this year) onto one side, then sewed the two sides together most of the way. I flipped it right side out, stuffed it, and sewed up the rest of the seam. And that was that!How many Christmas ornaments am I up to now? How many more challenges will I end up making them for?
Hey, I'm making an ornament a week, so I'm with you. This one is super sweet. It's funny I had a hard time with white too.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't even planning to do the Advent Calendar challenge this year, but at this rate, I'm probably keeping up!
