Love Buzzard's Crafts & Life

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago I am taking part in Amanda’s Christmas Challenge that was set up by a friend in Australia.  The challenge for June was a Christmas ornament and this afternoon I finally finished the ornament.  I bought hexagon shapes just for making this ornament and had plans to make several as gifts.  That idea has been scratched since it took so long and was so tedious to make just one.  The pattern called for sewing but I did no sewing and instead used Wonder-Under, fusible batting, and glue.  I could not make the points at the edge of the hexagon look the same as the pattern picture but finally solved the problem with glue.  At least the star looks like a star but does not show up very well because there is not enough contrast between the two fabrics.  I will have to make at least one more with more contrast in the fabrics and will solve the problem of the points on the hexagon edges.  The beads that I used on the bottom are all pink but do not show up too well in the photo.  I guess all in all I am happy with the end results but there will be some changes made if I should change my mind and decide to make several.
