Tree Topper finished

Our tree finally has a topper!  We originally wanted some sort of star on top, but I decided on a poinsettia, which is still "star like."

Felt Poinsettia Tree Topper
I made this from mainly felt and wire.  Each of the petals are two layers of felt hand-sewn together, and the larger petals have a loop of wire pushed up to the tip so they can be arranged for a more three-dimensional look. The middle is made from a couple of layers of different colored felt along with small jingle bells on wire and pushed through a small piece of felt.

Wreath Ornaments Complete!

I bought tons of ribbon yesterday - thank goodness it was 40% off!
So, with my new enormous ribbon stash, I finished all of the wreath ornaments. They are now ready for the tree!



Vaccine Vial Lid Wreaths
Made from wire and the same vial lids as the Snowman. I made almost 10 of these with the vial lids my husband brought home.

Weekend Ornaments

More homemade ornaments created this weekend. Nothing like making Christmas ornaments to get you in the mood for... Halloween...? Oh well, we did the Halloween thing on Sunday, too - full of the holiday spirit, I suppose!

Vaccine Vial Lid Wreaths
Made from wire and the same vial lids as the snowman. These wreaths still need the final touch... a ribbon bow at the top. I made almost 10 of these with the vial lids Chris brought home.

Fancy Round Paper Ornament
Made with scrapbook paper cut into circles, folded and glued together. Ribbon will be used to hang it, and possibly a bow at the top.
I figured out I need to invent a fast paper folding machine..... this is SLOW going....
