Ornament Thursday: BONEFLAKE tutorial and pattern
The Impatient Blogger spoke of Ornament Thursday and I wanted to join the fun. It's a little past Thursday in my time zone, but it's still Thursday not very far away. This is a redo of an ornament I made a few years ago. It is a nice ornament for somebody who is punk rock or somebody who likes doggies. Have fun!
What you will need:
black wool felt
white wool felt
iron on backing
white pencil
thin sharpie
a pin
a needle
scissors
a small piece of batting
black and white shiny seed beads
white, black, and silver thread
printer for printing out the pattern
Print out the pattern (click here.)
Trace two snowflakes on the black felt with the white pencil.

Iron a small piece of iron-on-backing to a piece of white felt. Trace the bone on the iron-on side 12 times using the sharpie.

Cut out the pieces.

Iron the bones on to the snowflakes like so.

Stitch some beads on for a festive touch. Use white thread for the white beads and black thread for the black beads.

It doesn't matter what the backs looks like, but here's what mine looked like if you were wondering. All the knots should go on the back.

Cut a snowflake out of batting and make a sandwich with nice sides facing out.

Stitch around the edges with silver thread. Work the batting into place as you go. Try not to let any fluff escape out of the edges.

Add a loop of silver thread to hang it.

Hang it on a tree. Enjoy!
