So I had to sew them closed on the sewing machine. Then I discovered that I had only printed out the directions for half of the designs. When I tried to find the embroiderer I purchased the designs from, I found she is no longer in business.

But, by golly, I managed to make them up in spite of all that

There is also a set of Christmas holders. Same thing - pattern leaves a little hole in the bottom to insert the stick through. I have made both sets and were a big hit.

Although their designs are similar, they are not the same as the designs I have. I purchased these designs from Lynn's Embroidery. She was selling on either Ebay or Etsy, not sure which, it was so long ago. She did not include her website address with the instructions and I cannot find her so assume she's no longer in business.
