Description:

Create for your one partner an ornament in a zodiac/sun/moon theme of **their choice. **ORNAMENT MAY BE CROSS STITCH, EMBROIDERY, BLACKWORK(etc), HARDANGER, HANDMADE LACE this sewing is sender's choice.

Ornaments can be flat or 3D. When I make a flat ornament I cut the aida with scissors an inch or so larger than I want the final ornament to be (but maybe have the top where the hanger will be the final size you want), put the thread or ribbon on the backside for the hanger, press cloth and hanger onto felt with a sticky backing then cut again with pinking scissors to the size I want the ornament to be, be sure not to cut the thread or ribbon off! flat ornament, finished simply but nice.

Ornament finishing links provided for us in the Christmas Ornament swaps by @tingtinga2602 (THANKS!) :

Please make my ornament LEO themed (I'm on the cusp of Leo-Virgo)

What size should the ornaments be?

I am Virgo, but would love any of the choices. So I will leave that up to the sender too!

My Zodiac sign is cancer/crab, but I want this to be sender's choice too. Surprise me!

EmilyT 07/ 2/2014 #

@Annet thanks for the question. I would say the ornament should be a minimum of 2 inches or 5 cm but shouldn't be larger than about 6 inches or 16cm, not including the hanger. Also, my cm are very rough estimates, not exact conversions. So mostly sender's choice on size too.
