Free Standing Lace Ornaments- My New Batch

 

Just finishing up the latest batch of free standing lace ornaments.  

And got a thing checked off on "da list" of up coming projects.

The best part of the making these ornaments is decorating them and deciding on what type of material to use for the hanger.  If you want to see what they look like in production go to my post about it - here .

Below are some pictures of the finished ornaments.

This is a gem of an ornament.  A crystal or polished quartz hangs from a suede cord over a Celtic Tree of Life.  Metallic thread "pops" the design and iron-on crystals on the tree roots finish it.

You'll be Ohing and Ohming if you have one of these.  These Ohm ornaments are stitched in yellow and white and sometimes gold metallic thread.  Beads added on a yellow, or white suede cord.

Who's Foxy?  Well this ornament is.  That's who! Coppery red and that white tail hanging from a coppery color chain, makes the foxiest ornament.

Did you see any fairies hanging around?  Well hang these ornaments and you will. Silver metallic wings, purple or pink bodies, with a purple or pink skirt, decorated with iron on crystals, and or ribbon flowers, these fairies hang on a ribbon that have some pretty beads.

Keeping it magical, how about some Prancing Unicorns?  They prance and dance because they are decorated with iron-on crystals, ribbons, and flowers.  No two alike.   I used chain as their hangers.

Cool cats will like this ornament.  Brown and yellows multi-colored with yellow ribbons and bows, on a cord hanger.

Light as a feather, these ballerinas twirl in their dance.  Decorated with tulle and ion-on crystals on a silvery ribbon. 

Making Free Standing Lace Machine Embroidery Ornaments

Just doing a check in while working on "da list" of crafting for some up coming craft show.

I thought you would like to see what Free Standing Lace Machine Embroidery Ornaments look like  before I wash away the water solvable stabilizer.  

 

A Money Saving Tip- try to  hoop as many designs on one piece of stabilizer . Then cut around them and dissolve the stabilizer from the design. 

Another Tip - to make the designs stiffer don't wash away all of the stabilizer.  Save the water with dissolved stabilizer and put it into a spray bottle. After the designs are dry, you can spray the solution to stiffen them up more .

Below are closeups of designs.  To finish them off, I will decorate the ornaments and attach a hanger.  For the hangers I use chains, beaded ribbons, twine, or suede.  And some designs have to be have to be assembled first- like adding legs to the body of the foxes and the skirts to the fairies.  I have made ballerinas (not pictured).  These are the newest additions to my "Any Time " Ornaments.

I didn't take a five minute break for these five element ornaments.

 During the workout magic, I saw some magical unicorns, so I knew that I was on the right track.
