Directions on making ornaments below

For each animal ornament, you’ll need: two 6”x7” Aida 14 (ivory, white, pink #357-2, gray #357-7 from Wichelt), complete design on one; Stik’n Puff Country shape set; 1/2 yd. rattail or rope cord; pencil; Tacky Glue; clothespins; straight pins.

1. Trace and cut out pattern provided with Country shapes. Center design fabric over dotted lines (cross stitches will extend beyond the dotted lines). Pin pattern in place and cut out.

2. Center Country shape, foam-side down on wrong side of design fabric, and remove backing paper. Press Country shape firmly against the design fabric with eraser end of the pencil. Firmly pull the fabric wedges up and press them down into adhesive backing. Use glue where the wedges overlap and where the shape comes to a point. Repeat procedure for other side, using remaining Aida fabric.

3. To form hanger: Fold 8” of cord in half and glue ends to design back at center tip before flying front and back pieces together.

4. Glue front and back shapes together, using cloths pins to hold pieces together while glue dries. Glue rattail cord at intersection between front and back pieces, using straight pins to hold cord in place. Trim cord so that the two ends meet exactly. Glue the two ends together neatly.

5. To mount in wooden stand (wheeled or 4-pegged): Before glue dries, insert tapered doweling between front and back shapes at center bottom while shapes are being held together with clothespins. Optional: ribbon bow (12” of 1/4” wide) and bell (approx. 3/8”-dia. may be added to necks if the animals.
