For "specifics"
Posting a picture of my ornaments from last year. Many are Mary Englebreit, the rest from Just Cross Stitch Christmas ornaments 2014. Hopefully this will help you see how they can be finished.

How lovely!! I'm a bit ashamed to say that, when it comes to ornament finishing, I'm a total clutz! and not very good at it either. I need a class in how to do various types, and patience. I can sew anything, but can't "finish" an ornament! I'm so bad....

Do you use them at your home or give as gifts?

Momcat, I understand! Last year was my first attempt. I watched Twisted Stitcher tutorials over and over, then set up shop. My kitchen table was covered with fabric, cardboard, glue, ribbon, cording, spray adhesive, felt etc, etc. I made about 30 ornaments last year, so by the end I was pretty good! A few were sewn into tiny pillows. I had a little assembly line going and finished them all in a couple of days. BTW, I found a little alphabet online that was only 2 stitches tall. I used it to put a name on each ornament.

I made them for my kids and grandkids, my husband and a couple of friends. Made one for myself in January!

Mrs Nancy for sure she keep them that is why she had a picture of them all under one roof for the next Christmas.

No, Miss C. I did not keep them. I took the photo before I gave them all away last Christmas.
