Machine Embroidered Christmas Trees

These Machine Embroidered Christmas Trees used

soluble plastic as a background to draw the tree design

on and then a layer of sheer organza in the chosen colour

behind that. Put in an Embroidery Hoop it was then

free machined. The plastic is then dissolved away

and then hung on a thread to act as a decoration.

Looks fantastic in a window.

Christmas Cotton Reel Tassels

In the studio we have been collecting empty 

cotton reel bobbins since the beginning of the ear.

Wood, plastic and a variety of colours and sizes.

It was a great time to put them into good use and 

make tassels with them.

The cotton reel was decorated with music paper and

 various trimmings and beads.

Multiple threads were wound around a book and wired

into the cotton reel.

So effective!

Miniature Rossette Music Ornaments

These are so made with cones of paper in this case

old music books that we are recycling

in the studio.

Additions of lace, buttons and string.

Hundreds of them have been made and for

many different occasions.

Great to put on a gifts and then have as an

ornament.
