Looks Good Enough To Eat (The Holiday Ornament Edition)

For the second year in a row, my good friend Sara (whom I'm proud to say I have been friends with since kindergarten when my mom was her Girl Scout Brownie leader) and I have gotten together to make a Holiday Ornament for some of our friends and family.

We got the idea from a co-worker of hers when she worked at Voices for Children and with Sara moving up to Los Angeles last year after she got married, we thought what a perfect way to make sure we see each other at least twice before the craziness of the Holiday Season is upon us.
Last year we made a really simple glass ornament with holly, pinecones & berries. No sewing, no real talent...just some hot glue.



So much fun...it made us go a little insane

This year we kept the design simple but stepped it up a notch with doing some fancy sewing on top of the hot glue.

Check out the little holiday ornament elves hard at work


Our prototype was a little (lot) rough around the edges

But we finally got a hang of it and then...waaaa laaaaa..
Behold our Fabric Ribbon Candy (looks so good you could eat it huh?)

Sara and I had so much fun and we are such Holiday nerds we already have our ornament planned out for next year.
So hope you've been nice this year because you might just make the ornament list (if not, don't be sad...there is always next year...and yes, we accept bribes)
Happy Holidays...(I know...it's not even December yet..but like I said, Sara and I are Holiday Nerds...embrace!)
