But there were a bunch of scraps that I really wanted to use somehow. I had a friend over and we used vintage Christmas cookie cutters as a pattern and cut out about six different ornaments. I did the cutting, stuffing and putting them together with hot glue while she did some rustic stitching around the edges. Sorry, no picts -- I sent them home with her. I wasn't keen on doing a bunch of handstitching this time of year.
There were still more scraps to deal with....so I whacked out a bunch of very primitive Christmas trees and really liked the look. No sewing allowed. I used double sided tape to attach some to a white trim piece. I think they would also look cute on a table runner or Christmas tree skirt.
Just to see what it would look like, I tried just throwing the trees on a window (or cabinet door?) that I got for $5 in the "as is" area of Ikea. I just rolled some paintable textured wallpaper behind it to see how I liked it. Nice winter wonderland. Maybe a good project for 2017, but for now I am all about taking it easy and enjoying the holidays.
