Make Lovely Dragonfly Ornaments from Scraps
They’re Beautiful Gifts, Too!
These charming little dragonflies will be a beautiful addition to your Christmas decor. Make a set for your tree, use them to decorate gifts, and tuck them into stockings for special little gifts.
They’re also lovely in colors for any season. It’s easy to imagine them decorating a spring or summer wreath and tucked into centerpieces any time of the year.
This is a fun project, and you can have several dragonflies made in just a few hours.
Choose beautiful scraps of fabric for the wings or two fat quarters for a matching set of six ornaments. Finish them off with 1/8″ ribbon (12″ per ornament), 12″ white chenille stems, 12mm spacer beads, and assorted pearl beads with holes sized from 6mm to 12mm.
The completed dragonflies designed by Joyce Minnis are about 5 1/2″ wide x 4″ high.
