Fabric Scrap Ornaments

Ok, just say it...

I know, I know... I have too much time on my hands these days!

With the 3 older kids at school and Lindsey down for naps in the afternoons, what am I to do?

I can only sweep and fold laundry so much.

So I either bake or craft.

I found these cute ornaments using fabric scraps over at http://www.theskyispink.blogspot.com/

She's a crafty mom with 6 adorable kids.

So I gave it a shot... and I think they turned out pretty cute!

I first started out making the round ones. Super easy.

Just strips of fabric sewed WRONG sides together to give it the scrappy, frayed look. Back it with some fabric. Cut into circle and stitch the outside with the ribbon inserted for the hanger. I stuffed mine with a little poly-fil to make them "plump".

Then I decided to try making a tree shape. Still easy just took a little more time.

I made my own pattern on paper and cut the fabric strips from that. I didn't stuff this one.

Well, that's what I did this afternoon... now I guess I better go sweep my floors and get that laundry folded that is sneering at me from the couch!
