But hers says hand sewn. Unless she's fibbing.

I think you may be on to her. Can't find one yet that is hand sewn. But you never know. :shock:

No sewing at all. I found the pattern last year at Christmas and made several. They use a lot of straight pins. The only sewing may be on the ribbon that covers the edges of the folded fabric squares.

But Whatever they are really nice no matter how you do them. Not fond of the stick them in the ball way though. Looks sloppy.

If you are able to figure these out, make sure you let us know... It would be really cool to learn how to do these. A lot safer on the christmas tree too :wink:
