The next set of ornaments for my
Upcycled Advent Calendar are bells!
Once again using my old t-shirts - and a paper template, I cut 2 shapes from each colour of fabric.
Then with a piece of folded ribbon in the middle to hang the ornament - and right sides together:
I machine stitched around the edges, leaving a gap to turn it out..
Then turned it out and handstitched the opening closed:
Then finally added a button to the center of the bottom of the bell:
And voila! A little bell:
16 ornaments made - 8 to go...
Ha, perfect use for that shape of button! Way cute - again!

ReplyDeleteI like this idea Jill. A great way to recycle and you are going to have a beautifully handmade advent calendar to use for years to come. I love handmade calendars, much nicer than the chocolate ones, I'm a bit mean and don't buy them for my girls anymore instead we have little activities to do each day and a natural lolly instead which they love anyway. It keeps us all happy which is good. Goodluck with the rest of your ornament making.
