(Pattis ornament. Find the middle of the circle by folding in half, finger press and fold in half again. Press and open out. Mark center with a pencil. With wrong side up, fold bottom edge of fabric to center point. Press well with iron. Working clockwise, take left point, fold to center. Finger press. Continue folding points until 6 fold are made. Circle should look like a hex. Repeat for second circle. Make a little hanger loop and attach to top corner of large hex. Place a drop of glue in center of large hex, place small one on top. Little glue in center of small hex for button, other decoration. Note: I only made a couple of them, but I think if I make more I might try a little piece of batting in them, the big one anyway, then I could decorate them with thread. You can also fussy cut your fabric so that a design shows on the back.

Hi Shamrock, Thank you so much for the tute. After seeing the photos Patti posted I found the set of hex templates I have. I cut paper hexes and was trying to measure how much to fold and I'm so happy you explained how to do it. Much easier your way. No rulers. Just a pencil and glue. How easy!! Now I have another item on my list of things to do. This one is going to the top of the list. :thumbup: :thumbup: :P Anne
