Trading posts - Felt ornaments

Christmas is approaching and my list is not getting any smaller. Actually it has been growing. But I did cross off a few items this past saturday with Amie (Kitty Cats & Airplanes). Felt, lace, trims, sequins and glitter came out of boxes and drawers for a feast of Christmas ornaments. A lot of the designs we picked out came out of my Pinterest Ornaments board. We both used the same design ideas but apart from the first ornament we came out with different results. 
In the following photos, Amie's ornaments are on the right and mine on the left except for the second one

First one... just a warm up 
Just felt and beads

Second one  -  Amie's is the beige and black one
Lace, beads, sequins vs rickrack and sequins
White vs. colors

Then came the trees
Rickrack and sequins vs. Lace and beads
White vs. colors

The birds
White lace vs. black lace

And last the angels 

I tried an additional design


 Amie and I had a great time despite a couple of slight glue gun burns. We are looking forward to our next crafty meeting!!

    Very nice... homemade ornaments are so much more meaningful than store bought. I love remembering what was happening in our family at the time I created each ornament as I unpack them years later.

    They are all so cute its difficult to pick a favourite. But think maybe the first one even if that was the least "christmasy" :)
    Wish you a good day!

    These are absolutely gorgeous. I love using felt. I just wish I had my own tree to decorate this year, but going to the in-laws!

    My first ever Christmas Link Party is still on and I would really love it if you would join my humble- sized party, but amazing crowd of crafters. I hope you have the time to pop along and post.
