Joy Banner!
This was originally going to be three ornaments for my tree. But as I got going I suddenly had this vision of how cute they would look all strung together in banner forum and hung across my piano.
These were simple to make- I cut out a star shape, a smaller star shape and layered them together. Then I sewed those two to a piece of brown felt and cut out the shape, and then cut out a larger green star behind that. I just threw a bunch of buttons and the letters J, O, Y in the centers, tried to keep it fairly simple. I punched some holes through the stars and strung them together on pretty ribbon.
Wow…this is really beautiful!! I am really enjoying all your Christmas projects this year!!
