I also use one less pin for each square one I'm past the 1st row (one end will always over lap another and that is where I short it a pin...I think this also lessens the weight). I sell these at a local craft fair in the fall.

I love yours as well. Thanks for posting pics. I love the way that you did your ribbon. I to have also thought of using less pins since they overlap. I wish that I could find christmas fabric like that in my fabric shop.

Wonderful, I was waiting to see if you get these. Have fun with these. Your first one may be frustrating but be patient it gets a lot easier with each one that you do. Please post pics once you have completed some of them.

Great tutorial. I always wondered how those were made. Maybe I can make some this year. I love homemade ornaments.

They are a lot of work. My mother used to make them for all her Mom's Day Out children mothers for Christmas. Everyone wanted one of Miss Jimmie's Christmas ornaments... Thanks for bringing up the precious memory.
