Spellbinder felt ornaments

I made these ornaments for the Demonstrations I am doing at Michaels and Hobby Lobby, so I thought I would share them here also :)

Spellbinders dies used--
1st ornament
Lacey Circles ( I offset the front and back dies to make it look more lacey)
Classic Circles
Anemone Flower topper

2nd Ornament
Lacey Ovals (these I lined up)
Classic ovals

I cut two of each base ornament so that I could put stuffing in between, then I hand stitched them together, added French knots to the center of the flower and straight stitches with French knotted ends for the snowflake.

Tip for cutting craft felt out with the dies, it cuts a lot cleaner if you use wax paper between your die and your felt, without it the felt is a little stringy.  If you are cutting wool felt  you don't need the wax paper, this cuts with no problem, just like butter.  The wax paper is great for the detailed dies that Spellbinder has also, it will come right out of the die if you use the wax paper between the die and your cardstock or paper.

Hope this gives you some ideas of more things to do with your dies :)

Hope you are staying warm, it got down into the single digits last night and with the wind chill I am sure it felt like below zero.  It feels like it may be a long winter.....

Thanks so much for stopping by,
