Personalized Initial Ornaments

Still playing catch up on Christmas projects and things, but this should be the last one for this year!  I didn’t finish these up until Christmas Eve that’s why I didn’t post them earlier.  I got the idea for free hanging machine embroidered ornaments, one for each kiddo.  I took a fabric that they each had mentioned liking at one point or another, then I used the initial of their first name and as you can see, included the date as well.

Personalized initial ornaments #1These were also kind of a trial run as to how to get the best result since I think these will be an offering in the shop next fall (see, planning early!! LOL!).  Wyatt’s was the one I did first and I didn’t add anything but the fabric and ribbon, turned out way too flimsy.  The rest I added a layer of felt between the fabrics and they turned out wonderfully!

Personalized initial ornaments #2As you can see, I didn’t even manage to get all the stabilizer off of these before they got tied to stockings.  That’s how close I was cutting it.  The kids thought they were awesome though, they love having their initial on anything.  Kids are so funny.

How about your Christmas projects? Were you done early? Or burning the midnight oil like I was?
