It's only a little more than 4 weeks until Christmas. Time is just flying by so I thought I would share the meaning of some of the symbols that we use at Christmas . That way when you do the craft project you can talk with the kids about the symbol and what it represents.If you look for stars this time of the year
you will need to dress really warm like Kayliegh!
THE STAR: A heavenly sign of prophecy fulfilled long ages ago...
The shining hope of mankind.
Tea Towel Ornaments:
You will need tea towel, fiberfill, 12" ribbon, needle, pearl cotton or floss, straight pin and a piece of paper for your pattern ( if you would like a copy of this pattern (with heart and star), email me from my website and I will be happy to send you one)
- Find an old tea towel (or new) and cut into 5 inch squares
- Place pieces wrong sides together
- Draw a star or heart on a 5 inch piece of paper for pattern
- Cut out your ornament
- Using pearl cotton or floss hand sew 1/2" from edge of ornament
- Leave an opening for stuffing and stuff with fiberfill
- Finish hand sewing around edge and finish off
- Fold ribbon in half and tack to top of ornament
- you can use a straight pin and separate the threads around the edges to make fringe.
