Handmade Gifts 2013, Part 1

Two pinecone elf ornaments for Tucker and Darcy. Haha, Robyn, yes, I copied you! We really love the pinecone elf ornament you made for us, so when I was trying to think of something sweet to make for the girls’ little cousins, I kept going back to it. (I used to include a link to the Martha Stewart ornament tutorial, but it seems to be gone.)

I’ve wanted to try it for ever so long, and I even had all the materials in my stash. I made the hat larger to fit further over the bead, and I made the mittens and shoes smaller. I also widened the top of the shoe pattern so it would not be as flat after it’s sewn together. And I added some floss hair because it’s cute.

I’m glad to say that I didn’t burn myself even once with the hot glue gun this time! Almost.
