12 Days of Christmas Crafts - Day 11 & 12

Day 11: My sister-in-law, Jen, made this fabric ornament ball pattern and put it up on her website. I had to give it a try! It's was just too cute to pass up. I tried to make mine into a jingle bell ball. I think it looks like a jingle bell, Matt, not so much. Ah well. The pattern is great. It usually is 6 pieces sewn together, I just used 5 to get a thinner, taller jingle bell. It does look great on the back of my chair! : ) I hope I made you proud Jen.

Day 12: Gift bags! So if I am doing your stocking stuffers don't look to close at the pictures! : ) I saw these little garland pipecleaners and thought they would make great handles to a little bag. The bag...felt. I cut out a heart in the front of the bag, scalloped the top and tied them up with some ribbon. Ta-dah! Done.
We made it through! And the 12 days only took 19! haha. Ah well, c'est la vie. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. And Happy Hanukkah too!
