In this post, you’ll see a variation of Christmas ornaments that are a mix of beginner to intermediate level patterns and overall quick to make.
So let’s take that first baby step together right here in the lull before lives get busy again.
About This Project
When it comes to holiday ornaments, ironically, it doesn’t always have to be placed on your Christmas tree! There are so many creative ways you can show them off! Here are some ideas:
- They can be placed as a bow replacement when wrapping a gift.
- It can be used a decorative applique on a bigger crochet holiday project.
- It can be hung on your wall next to your Christmas stocking.
- It can be sewn onto a mug cozy during the festive season.
The sky is the limit with what can be done with these ornaments, and I hope the list above gives you some creative ways to take full advantage of these adorable ornaments.
