COOL YULE – FINISHING TEMPLATE

November 12, 2019 By Cathy Habermann 2 Comments

Thank you for stitching this ’cool’ Christmas ornament! I’ve provided a template below which is the exact size that was used in the pictured finishes. You just need to grab some matboard, cardboard, batting, ribbon & all of those extra little bits to fully-finish your series!

Please follow my other Flat-Finishing tutorials for guidance on setting up your cut boards, lacing & stitching front to back. Print out this page & adjust as necessary so that the dimensions of the template measure what it should.

I chose to use ribbon for a hanger & added woolfelt leaves balls for a ’berry’ sweet finish. I order my woolfelt sheets & balls from a variety of Etsy shops—(type woolfelt into the search function & go!)

I used 3 woolfelt balls & tacked them together with a sharp needle & matching thread. I then tacked 2 woolfelt leaves to the berry cluster. The leaves are approximately 1.25” tall & .75” wide—you can freehand them or use the small template below. Once the leaves were attached, I then added a thin ribbon bow with more tacking stitches. Once that was complete, it all got tacked onto the top of the ornament!

Have fun finishing & be sure to show your finishes using the hashtag— #handsondesign & #coolyule.

Here’s a quick link to the template!

 

Enjoy the stitch & finish – Cathy, Hands On Design

      Hey Toni – take a look at some of the other tutorials that are on the website for ornament finishing. Those should walk you through the steps of flat finishing!

One of my Easter memories: sitting through sunrise service while they were preparing the pancake breakfast downstairs. The smells - pancakes & bacon! The sounds - the organ & my stomach rumbling 🤣

Happy Easter

Hello April! While January from the ‘A Year in Hello April!

While January from the ‘A Year in Chalk’ series was probably the top seller...April is probably the most photographed (or at least posted!)😊

It must mean we are all ready for the Spring season. 🌷 🌈
