 Making the Ornaments

Using see-through template material, trace each shape and cut out to make templates. For each ornament, fuse 2 scraps together, right sides out.

Trace the template on the fused scraps and then cut out the ornament.

Loop a 4-6" piece of cording and tack or glue the ends in place at the top of each ornament. Hang the ornaments from the buttons.
