Day 1 - Dawn R

When the challenge was thrown down to use scraps I knew instantly it would be felt. I have an obsession with felt. I love the colors, versatility and the ease to work with it. Originally I found these cute little felt trees, after making two I realized they just were not working. The pattern wasn't that great, they weren't matching up and they weren't as cute as I would of liked. I was browsing Pinterest when I noticed these cute little ornaments that had been pinned by Emily. The blogger did them with a kindergarten class, I figured if they could do it I could. I had the shimmery embroidery floss from another project and the Rick rack from another swap. I did buy the small glass beads for $2.99.

I love how they turned out, the hodge podge of colors, the mismatched circles and the star in the middle.
