With both children sick last weekend, we’ve had some down time for quiet projects (and lots of television, unfortunately). Anyway, my older daughter made the ornament above using a small embroidery hoop. She has pretty much learned how to sew at her Montessori school, although we work on it occasionally at home. I asked her to draw a snowflake (convincing her that simple was better) directly onto this linen fabric with a disappearing ink fabric marker. Then she did the rest on her own.
I am also working with my younger daughter on one, though I drew the design for her. We haven’t finished yet. You can see in the photo below that I shouldn’t have put that embroidery hoop on my lap while she was putting the needle through it. Ouch.
This is such a cute idea! I will definitely be stealing it in the future :).
Super idea. Would be cute hung on the wall with others as holiday decoration –
So sweet! Do you finish the back at all, or just leave it open?
Oh, we just left the back open. Would be nice to glue some patterned fabric to the inside frame, I think. Probably won’t get around to that!
