12 Days of Christmas: Day 2!

December 9, 2014 by FaveQuilts 141 Comments

Today is Day 2 of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway. You can enter each day to win the prize of the day! Contest rules and how to enter are below.

12 Days of Christmas

Today’s Project

On the second day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me … a Prairie Point Pinecone Ornament from the American Quilter’s Society!

Prairie Point Pinecone Ornament

MATERIALS

  • 2 1/2 ” diameter Styrofoam® ball
  • Fabric scraps (about 1/8 yard total)
  • APQS Project IllustrationGlue, hot glue, or straight pins
  • Decorative cord for hanging

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut 1 1/4 ” squares from the fabric scraps. We used 93 for our sample ornament, but you may need more or less. Set one square aside.
  2. Fold a square in half on the diagonal, wrong sides together, and press. Fold the resulting triangle in half again and press (like making a prairie point). Repeat for all the squares. See figure 1.
  3. Start by attaching the unfolded square to the ball. This is the center bottom. See figure 2.
  4. Refer to figure 3 and begin attaching the prairie points, pointing toward the center bottom, overlapping the raw edges of the first square.
  5. Continue to add rows of prairie points as shown in figure 4. As you approach the horizon, the points will spread out and automatically flare as you reach the top of the ball. See figures 5 and 6.
  6. When you reach the top of the ball, cut a scrap of fabric that will cover the raw edges of the uppermost prairie points. Glue it in place.
  7. Tie the ends of the decorative cord in a bow to make a hanging loop. Attach the bow to the ornament with a pin or glue.

    Almost every tree in my house has homemade ornaments… even some from the kids school days..they still like to see them hanging on the tree… and show their children what they made when they were little… Homemade ornaments have such a feel good feeling…I probably have in the 100’s and still make something to hang each season…

    Too many to count! Some of my favorites are the ones my grandparents made me when I was a kid. They are wooden. Grandpa cut out the wood shape, and Grandma painted them. It was also a sweet memory to discover the ornaments my daughter has made and to remember the occasion when she made them.

    Their are about 20 handmade ornaments on my tree. About half of them are from my first year of marriage when we had a dinky fake tree and nothing to put on it so I made ornaments and strung popcorn as a garland to decorate it. The other half are plaster ornaments I have had the kids make for me over the last few years.

    My tree is full of happy memories of Christmases-past and the wonderful people who have contributed to its beauty. A wild guess for the number of ornaments on my tree would be around 60+ since I’m now 85 and have been making/giving/receiving Xmas decorations for most of these years. These beautiful ornaments hold happy memories of the people who have made these gifts. Each year I make and donate an ornament to all around me with a wish for yet another happy year ahead.

    I think there are about 8 or 10 handmade ornaments on our tree. A friend and I made ornaments for a 4 foot tall tree every year for 12 years–it was donated to a holiday festival in NY an auctioned off (proceeds benefited United Cerebral Palsy). No time to make our own ornaments for many years as we were planning and making all the trees for charity!

    Our tree has about 25 handmade ornaments mixed with the standard bought ornaments. The handmade ornaments find their way to the front and the bought ornaments are used to fill in the empty spots. We will have a little one in the family in the near future so the next handmade ornament will be a snowman family made by putting white paint on the hand and pressing it around the colored ball. A prairie point pinecone ornament similar to todays featured project was made for me as a gift many years ago only it was made out of ribbon. Todays project will be a fun project to try as well.

    All the ornaments on all three of my trees are handmade. Some of them were made by my children when they were young and I have kept them carefully wrapped and stored each year to eventually hand down to them when they have their own families so that they can continue the tradition in with their children. Always so much fun making them with my children and now on my own.

    I won’t be putting up a tree, but I’ve kept the ornaments my kids made in school when they were small.

    This has become a family tradition. Each year I gather all the grandchildren, nieces, great nieces, nephews, cousins, and children of friends, and teach them the new ornament for that year. Along with the ornaments, we make cookies, eat all kinds of foods, watch Christmas movies and take plenty of pictures to post on the family website. This years theme is’ An old fashion Christmas”, with all of the original colors of red and green. Everyone adores this time and are always eager to know next year’s theme. Fun times with the family….

    We have about 5 on the tree but a town under the tree. I was living in Dunoon, Argyle Scotland and hand made the homes, church and shops, out of thin wood and cardboard. Then designed a platform for the town with lights sticking up through the wood to shine of of the windows of the buildings. The tree fit in a hole in the center. But nothing made with fabric

    We usually put up 4 trees, but will only put up 2 this year. Almost all the ornaments and decorations around the house are handmade.

    There are well over 350 handmade ornaments on our tree. Some are large 4″ to 6″ (including a wooden airplane made by my father in the 60s and a yarn and plastic mesh gingerbread house by me). Most are smaller and range from hand-painted and glitter accented 3-D wooden ornaments to more than 100 bead and pipe cleaner icicles and candy canes. There are 18 felt animals made by my mother-in-law for our tree in 1973 plus the dozens more she made since, as well as the ornaments the children made in kindergarten. It is easier to count the “store-bought” ornaments (12, plus the lights and garlands) since it was my tradition to hand-make at least one ornament (usually a dozen or more) every year. We have an old trunk for the artificial tree and 4 medium-size totes to hold the entire collection. It takes me more than a week to put everything up – but much longer to take it all back down and put it away.

    I would say at that there are at least 100 handmade ornaments on our tree. We hand-painted many of them, and there were a lot of additions from our children and other family members over the years.

    I think I have about 10 handmade ornaments on the Christmas tree this year. some I made and some were handmade by my mother and mother-in-law, who are now deceased and bring back happy memories and remind me of them. How blessed my husband and I are to have such remembrances each year.

    All the ornaments’ on our tree are handmade and most of them are gifts. I was a preschool teacher for about 28 years and they are made by children’s mothers. Very meaningful when I decorate each year.
