They are beautiful. I have tried ccs and it drove me crazy. I need to have some one show me or go on Youtube I guess. My sister does it but we live far apart.
How did you attach these to the wreaths and finish off the backs? I have some of those little wreaths in my stash so would be very interested in learning how to do this. They came out beautifully!
MrsTea ~ Thank you. Here's what I did: I cut two round circles out of cardstock the size I wanted the CCS to be to kind of fill the wreath. Cut two pieces of quilt batting the same size. Cut a circle of Christmas-themed fabric for the back of the ornament larger than the first circles, and cut the CCS in a circle of that larger size. I put quilt batting between the CCS and the cardstock, made little clips around the circle of CCS fabric and used glue stick to glue it down. I did the same with the Christmas fabric. Then I glued the two circles together (I think I used hot glue for that step.) I centered the CCS where I wanted it and actually stitched it around the wood strips. I debated about using hot glue or other glue. I probably could/should have put a dab of glue at each point that the thread went through. Glad you like them. Let me know if you make some and how they turn out.
These are the Christmas ornaments I made for Iris (poinsettia with candle), Sonja (penguin) and Julia (owl).
