It is dreary and cold here on the east coast so I decided to pull out our Kathy Davis Blossoming fabric and make a fun holiday ornament to decorate with, in the hopes that it will brighten up my winter blues. I found this idea from Marimekko.

Check out their great instructional video. The Blossoming Holiday Ornament pictured is a larger size but you can make different sizes with some minor adjustments to the pattern.

Directions:
1. Cut 40- 6 inch circles of your favorite Blossoming fabric. ( I used the Raspberry colorway.)
2. Push a needle through the center of the circle until you have created a cone like shape.
3. Take the needle and all purpose thread and sew a few stitches to keep the piece intact.
4. Then start stitching the pieces to each other until you have a round shape.
5. When your ornament is finished add some ribbon and greens to it for a more festive feel.

For a smaller ornament try making 4 inch circles with less pieces of fabric.

Have fun!

Send us some of your finished pieces and we will feature them here on our blog!
