Stitched Card Christmas Ornaments...
Christmas has surely come a little early here at Mia Bella Passions...
But that's because I LOVE everything Christmas!
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.
Cut out the shapes.
Hole punch a hole centred.
Using a sewing machine, place stitching as desired on the cardboard shape.
You could handstitch these if you wanted to...
Embellish with buttons, stickers or ribbon.
Add a string or ribbon hanger.
Perfect for the Christmas tree, or use as a gift label.
I filled this shabby old painted pot with florist foam.
Into that went a twiggy dried branch.
Oh they look so fabulous!
I love the little dried seed pods on this branch.
My stitching is far from perfect, but I love the effect ...
Embellishments included a few stickers...
And some red buttons...
Such a pretty Christmas vignette on the little French side table!

I hung the stitched ornaments onto it.
