Simple Ornaments and Bags Make Lovely Gifts

Both are Perfect for Scraps!
Pretty star ornaments made from fabric and felt are proof positive that sometimes simple is best. These are so easy to make and yet make a beautiful presentation.
Cut a star shape out of fabric and stitch it to two layers of felt with a buttonhole stitch. Stuff the ornament lightly and add a hanging cord. Voila! Done.
Ornaments of other simple shapes, such as trees, bells and hearts also work nicely with this method. Cookie cutters can be used as templates.

Shown with the star ornaments is a lovely drawstring bag. It’s an adaptation of a simpler bag design that’s just as lovely. Fussy cut hexies take full advantage of beautiful Christmas motifs.
