Stitched Card Christmas Ornaments...

Christmas has surely come a little early here at Mia Bella Passions...
But that's because  I LOVE everything Christmas!
DIY Christmas Decorations
To make these cute stitched card Christmas ornaments, 
you'll need a selection of Christmas shapes...
I used free templates from sourced via Google.

Print your chosen images from the links directly onto heavy white card.

 I filled this shabby old painted pot with florist foam.
Into that  went a twiggy dried branch.

I hung the stitched ornaments onto it.

 I love the little dried seed pods on this branch.

My stitching is far from perfect, but I love the effect ...

 Then do the same with the second layer as shown.

Continue in this way until you have your three or four layers completed.
White chocolate recipes
Melt white chocolate over hot water....

Dribble over the biscuits so it resembles snowy icicles...
(this is quite funny as the humidity is 90% and it is near 25 degrees today in the Bay Of Plenty  - and I'm making snow!!)
Tim Tam Recipes
Decorate with red and green lollies as desired...

Keep refrigerated if you live in a warm climate,
Just bring out to room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting into pieces.
