These will be so much fun. I can't wait to get them cut out and then work on the couch adding the adornment. I need to collect some ric rac, ribbon, and bling. How much fun!!!

What a fun project! Since I love bling, I would add some sequins, or glittered areas to the body. For the top, some metallic fabric or tin foil could add another dimension. . These would even lend themselves as pins for a coat by adding a little pin on the back. I have some decorative stitches on my sewing machine that could be used as garland or over stitching on ric rac trim or even embellishing fabric scraps used as garland!

I love scrappy projects like this one. The ornaments are charming in that they are dimensional. Just a little poly fil and some bits of fabric and trims. Adding a softness to these ornaments, that can double as package decorations or even hung on a ribbon as garland, is delightful. So easy to machine or hand sew as well.
