Handmade Ornament #14
Hello, it’s Amy from Delineate Your Dwelling. I love creating home decor that is simple but has a graphic twist to it. I recently made a string art project for my kitchen and a clipboard gallery wall for my dining room, but now that December is here, all I can think about is Christmas! I made these adorable clothes pin nativity scenes and today am so excited to share with you an ornament I made.
Get ready to grab a few supplies and you can make a handmade Embroidery Hoop ornament right along with me!
I bought a small sized embroidery hoop at my local Jo Ann Fabrics store. This was the only purchase I made for this ornament.
The first step was covering my hoop with this fun cream and tan polka dot material. After tightening the screw at the top of the hoop, I cut off the excess fabric and hot.glued just a small line around the back of the hoop to help keep it in place.
Using a piece of card stock, I wrote out NOEL in a gold Sharpie marker and then gave it a quick outline, as well. I was so thrilled to use some of my shimmery gold ribbon and my small red pom ribbon to add a little sparkle and excitement.
Using some scrapbook paper, I sketched out two holly leaves and cut them out.
A little green marker to help define the leaves.
After all my parts were assembled, I started gluing everything down. For a final touch, I added two gold jingle bells and painted the edge of my embroidery hoop black. Using the same gold Sharpie, I added just a touch of a pattern.
