Our attempt at making Christmas ornaments
Well I thought we’d try to make some of the gifts we give this year. Its not going as well as I’d hoped, I think they are on the young side for some of the things I had in mind. At first they liked making these ornaments but after making 1-2 they lost interest. I envisioned us making loads of them for their grandmas, teachers and friends but we have only finished 4. The main problem with how I did things was that the cheap remnant of cream fabric I got was too thin and the black fabric marker ran no matter how careful we were (it works fine on other fabric). So I’d try this again but with better fabric and maybe in a few years since it would be fun for them to try sewing with a needle. I do really like how Jamie’s snowman looks like a happy banana! I might try to do this again using their paper drawings, scanning them and then printing them on iron-on transfers.
Ethan also made a Lego ornament all by himself with a rubber band as the hook, I think he did a wonderful job with it!

They are very nice ornaments, doesn’t matter if they are too young for the projects, one year , all of our ornaments were from the kids school, church and scout projects on the tree, that was the nicest tree I have seen, we sat back and it brought back memories of each ornament. The kids are pretty much grown now and they all loved it.
