Hello dear reader,
I have posted photos of some of the christmas tree ornaments I have made using the same pattern for all of the "bulbs". I used different yarns and threads. I used worsted weight yarn with a gold crochet thread. They came out heavier but I liked the weight and they hold up to the decorations. I also used double strand of #10 thread. These were a little smaller but still great. I found som sequins in the shape of snowflakes and the greeting "Merry Christmas" in sequin material. The others I used scrapbooking brads in different sizes, shapes and colors.
The candy cane ornaments were the ones I described in an earlier post. They are from a current magazine. They are just double crochet in a long string. I used white glue and water for stiffening and dried them on aluminum foil. I love them and they are just adorable.
I did manage to make one snowflake out of #5 thread and It came out so cute. I am not a big fan of making doilies and snowflakes, I love the look of them but I don't enjoy crocheting them as nuch as I enjoy working with yarn.
The christmas trees are finally decorated and photos made. I used garland on one but not the other. I got sick and tired of burning my fingers on the hot glue so I didn't put garland on the second one. I think that they look adorable anyways. I had the cutest little vintage wooden ornaments and also some resin ones. On one I glued some little wrapped packages onto the base of the tree. One is for me and the other is for my niece and the kids. I know that they will enjoy them. Send me photos if you make one of my trees. I would love to see what you have done.
