Every year the newest and best ornaments come out. I oooh and ahhh over them, then I think- I have enough things around here that I should make them myself and save me a few bucks {to spend on myself later of course}.
Digging around my sewing cottage recently trying to downsize the amount of fabric I have, I noticed that I also have an extra large collection of sewing notions. Now, I am soooo not ready to give them up. Oh no. But, I bet I could use a few of them to celebrate the holidays with.
So head on over to your sewing area, dig through your sewing notions.
Materials needed: Spools, buttons, ribbon, thread, lace, ric rac, doilies, zippers and the list goes on!

What a great idea to use notions to make ornaments! I have never tried this hut I love the ones with buttons and empty thread spools. Zippers would probably make cool decorations as well. Thanks for the ideas!
Oh they’re beautiful! What a great way to use supplies! My favorite are those sisal and spool trees! Gorgeous!
