They are real festive. Where did you get these designs? I've made some for Christmas cards over the years, new design every time, but am in need of fresh sets.*4U

What a brilliant first attempt! They look magic in white. I'm a little hesitant in attempting these, they look so difficult. *4u

oh sweetie do give it a try! all you need to do is hoop a layer (or two if you really want them hard) of wss - not the plastic type though - and stitch. then cut around designs and soak in warm water for a few seconds. leave to dry a bit on a towel and press - between towels to play it safe - on the WRONG side of the design. and viola you have it made. but beware you'll try it once and its likely that you become addicted lol *4u

quiltgrama, these are lovely and you are right the went pretty well indeed. Great job and you will enjoy them in whatever color or thread that you choose to do them in, too. If you want to stay with the white but want to dress them up a bit - you can put a really light layer of product from DecoArt called Craft Twinkles - I use the Crystal Cristal and it comes in a 2 oz bottle and there is plenty in that bottle to do all the ornaments on you tree and more for next year - use it very lightly and you will achieve great results. Have fun and make lots of them - you can even decorate your gifts under the tree with them or add them to your Christmas Cards or instead of CC all together - I love FSL - can you tell? Hehehe! *4U

These are lovely. Now that you have the knack of it, keep going. Christmas will be here before you know it. You will surely put your tree up early just to hang your lovely ornaments. :)
