Merry Christmas Blessings

from

My family to Your Family

I haven't been posting as much and I'm sure you can understand that Christmas at GMama's house is in full swing.  I'm only 1 gift away from being finished and tomorrow looks like one more round of baking. 

I've been sewing frantically in my sewing cave trying to finish up those last minute gifts.  I can't share since someone may peek at this post and get a clue as to what their gift may be!

 Let me share these easy Scrap Fabric Ornaments you can make with all the left over snippets of fabric.  

You Will Need:

Styrofoam balls (med. size my preference)

Assorted fabric squares from 1 1/2 in., 2 1/2 in. or 3 in.

Blunt pencil (colored pencils very dull work great)

Ribbon for making a hanging loop

Straight pin

Take fabric square place on styrofoam ball and punch the middle with pencil just enough to anchor the fabric square.  Do this with each fabric square covering the entire ball to suit your taste.  I like mine full and colorful. Make a ribbon loop and secure with a couple of straight pins. I used an assortment of some "ugly" fabric squares but made a GREAT looking fabric ornament which made a colleague very happy to take home for her tree.  I made enough for my Sunday School class.  Makes a great activity while watching TV or a Ballgame as is the case most of the time in my home.

I am taking a Blogging break till after Christmas sometime and possibly after the 1st of the Year!

May the love of Christ be with you during the Holiday season and for 2012.
