Trying to find a background that worked with both planes took a bit. Craft paper was the best I could find from my stash of both paper and material. No worries, my friend really liked his airplanes.
I’ve gotten quite a few responses since I posted about these small ornaments.
Button Christmas ornaments
They are very basic and simple patterns so I wasn’t going to write them up, but I decided to do a few to give people that would like to do something similar an start. You can find the link on My Patterns tab as Christmas Ornaments 2015.
The snowman that I made for myself and attached to a pin is missing in action.
Missing: Tatted Snowman. Last seen: on this pin on my shirt
I wore it Christmas day and forgot to take it off my shirt before I washed it.
I’m not sure where it ended up. I used regular white craft glue to put it all together as it was never meant to go through the washer. I’ll probably find bits and pieces of him in the clothes as we put them on, tucked up inside a sleeve of some shirt or other. It’s too bad but not a tragedy to lose him as I have others but, man! I wish I hadn’t done that.
2015 is about to make its exit. It’s been a thrilling year with the new experience of a cruise and visiting Alaska for the first time; a sad year where we have lost three family members and several close friends over the course of the year; and an exciting year as we’ve finally done some home improvements that had been put off for far too long. It could be said it’s been a normal year with ups and downs, good times and bad. As we enter 2016 I make no resolutions that I know I won’t keep but move forward with a positive outlook and hopes for a wonderful new year.
Those planes look wonderful, thank you for the pattern, I have some paper with clouds on I am sure they would look good on it, I really must try it. Thank you for the idea Happy new year Margaret
I thought I had paper with clouds on it also but I couldn't find it and didn't have time to god and find any at a store. The recipient was happy with it, but NEXT time…!
Belated Blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. I'm a needle tatter (15 years) and have tatted Christmas ornaments every year for family and friends. This year I choose Morgan's Mouse and tatted 68 to give with Christmas Cards. Friend designed card with iconic picture of Santa and sleigh in front of moon from "twas the night before Christmas" story. Wrote first line on front of card ending with creature then when you open the card there is the mouse.
The framed tatted planes look great :).
