Free Standing Lace Alphabet
and Christmas Ornaments!
BARGAIN BASEMENT ONLY $10

Lots of things you can do with these!!!! First you receive a plain round ornament in three sizes both with and without a hanging loop. You can add your favorite small designs to these to use as ornaments, coasters,doilies or patches. Then you will also receive a complete set of ornaments with all the alphabet letters and numbers in three sizes with and without loops. Spell out children's names, greetings,or sayings and hang the ornaments across the fireplace, or create great monogram coasters with the larger sizes. The smaller sized ornaments could be made into jewelry. All of these designs are freestanding lace, but they would also look great stitched on a towel or garment for a lace monogram (without the loop of course :)) The small ones would also make great gift tags with the person's initial on them. Lastly, you receive a *pocket* in three sizes that you can zigzag onto the back of any of these designs to create places to tuck gifts, little purses, necklaces.....Below are some ideas

The basic circle. This can be used for coasters, doilies or patches

The basic circle with a loop added to become an ornament. You can add all sorts of designs to make your own unique decorations

The *pocket* This can be stitched on either the plain circle or the ornament to create a pocket. You could stitch a child's name on the ornament and tuck a little present in the pocket before hanging it on the tree

This is made using the ornament and the pocket. Zig Zag stitch the pocket onto the ornament. Fold over the top of the ornament and stitch a button under the loop

Make alphabet ornaments and string them to make names or sayings. Merry Christmas would look great strung across a mantel

Stitch a pocket on back of an ornament, and tuck in some gifts before hanging on the tree

I'm sure you can come up with many other uses for these basic designs! Experiment with different colors and threads -especially metallic threads for the Holidays

This shows the back of the ornament with a pocket

Stitch the circle and pocket in metallic thread (I used a variegated gold and green metallic for this one) and add some beads for a great necklace gift! (For instructions on how to do the beading, see the Projects page on this web site)

Each design will come in 2 versions - with and without loops and 3 sizes of each version(measured without the loop): 2.3" x 2.3" (mm), 3.6" x 3.6" (mm) and 4.9" x 4.9" (mm)
