Stash Crafted Ornament Extravaganza- Installment #1

There are just so many things to love about these no sew, nearly free, super easy, fabric scrap utilizing little gems! I had everything to make them on hand in my craft room (you might need to run to the dollar store for a pack of foam balls, but even then, the whole project will just cost a dollar). The best part? All of the scraps are bits from projects I made this year, so the ornament turned into a little mini-collage of my 2009 sewing projects. Fun, right?

Make the beaded hearts first

Method:

1.Cover the flattest side of the wooden hearts with DSSP, making sure the DSSP edges are cut flush to the hearts.

2.Make the large heart: 

Twist together the ends of a length of each of the purple and silver wires (approx 200mm long). 
String beads along the wires, choosing randomly from your bead selection, sometimes threading them over both wires, sometimes over only the purple wire. 
When the purple wire only has beads, wind the silver wire around a large needle to create spirals and then rejoin the wires together to continue stringing the beads. (See picture below) 
When the beaded wire is long enough, fashion it into a heart shape that fits onto the 40mm heart shape, twist the ends together, trim and wind the ends behind the beads out of sight.
Remove the top piece of backing from the DSSP and arrange the bead heart onto the sticky tile, pushing it down firmly to ensure it adheres tightly to the tile. 
Emboss as instructed below.

Felt Flowers For A Mixed Bouquet: Tutorial!

Fabric flowers are everywhere these days, and for good reason! They're so simple to make, and you almost can't go wrong if you've got a few simple tricks up your sleeve. And on top of that, if you use felt, (even inexpensive acrylic craft felt like I've used here), it's so easy to cut and holds it shape well, which makes you look good too! I'm not saying this is quick, yes it will take a few good hours, but it's time well spent, and if you make two or more at a time, it's time really well spent!
General How-To:
You'll Need:

• a 6" diameter styrofoam ball, or even 1/2 a styrofoam ball depending on your container.
• four types of felt flowers, in four complimentary colors, instructions below
• hot glue gun
• a suitable pot whose mouth is just slightly smaller than the diameter of your ball
