It's that time of year again when I think I should do an appreciation gift for my team at work. Of course, I thought about this super last minute and decided that a basic star ornament was the gift that I wanted to make everyone. You can learn how to make the Basic Star ornament by taking the Ornament Girl's Basic Star Workshop here. This a free workshop over the course of 3 different videos. Once you start making ornaments, you just can't stop!
So I ended up making 10 of these ornaments. Yes, TEN in one weekend! My poor fingers hurt after the first couple and I definitely had to pull out my "pin pusher" that I purchased earlier in the year. I should have started out using the pin pusher to save my fingers but I wasn't thinking. You can purchase a pin pusher here. The basic star ornament took me about an hour to make once I had all the fabric cut into the correct sizes. I have made several other ornaments with Ornament Girl and I really love the kits I get each month! Depending on the complexity of the pattern, the ornaments normally take me anywhere from 1-2 hours to complete. I'm definitely hooked on making ornaments, but for next year's gifts, I think I will start making the ornaments WAY earlier!
