NEW ornament in the works! Snug In Their Beds. Thi NEW ornament in the works! Snug In Their Beds. This is just my second attempt at the bedframe, so it's going to need a lot of adjustments. It's missing the embroidery, and the finials/legs will be painted to match the frame, of course. Or could be a fun contrast color...hmm. When I get the bedframe figured out, it's on to the rest of the ornament parts! This is going to be a fun one. Stay tuned for updates!

Snug In Their Beds will be the 7th ornament in my 'Twas The Night ornament series. There will be a total of nine ornaments in that series.

More info about the series is on my website, look in my bio for a link.

CAP & GOWN color guides are now on my blog! Your g CAP & GOWN color guides are now on my blog! Your grads may look different than mine, of course, but my guides will still be a helpful reference to get you started, especially if your graduate has similar colors:

SKIN TONE FELTS: I chose @benziedesign Seaside, Latte, and Cinnamon for my light, medium, and dark skin tones. Seaside is a good match for unpainted hardwood beads. You'll need to tint your wood beads to match the Latte and Cinnamon felts. Detailed instructions are in the pattern, of course! 

PATTERN: My Etsy shop
MATERIALS: @benziedesign not only do they stock the felts, they carry most of the other stuff you need to make these.
