However, my ornaments might help you decorate your tree and so it won't be a loss, I am sharing!! Since I don't know when TF can get these on, just keep looking for the rest, a total of 9 or 10.
The first is a Heart Tree.
You find the fabric you like and the size of hearts you like. You will need two or three. One needs to be bigger than the next and the next, etc.
Make a stiffener of 3 parts glue to 1 part water, and brush on the front with a foam brush. Cut the hearts out when they dry, as they are like cutting paper.
Glue one to the other, overlapping just a bit. Let dry.
Place your dry tree on a piece of felt, and cut around it.
Whip stitch with holiday colored crochet thread to the felt.
Embellish with wooden pieces, buttons, scraps of fabric, etc.
Cool glue a felt loop on the back of the top and you are done!
NOTE: You can make these with any kind of fabric. I chose plaid because I have always liked a country look. You can make them out of spangly felt and eliminate the fabric, using different colors for each "layer". You could make them with satin or rayon, but the fabric won't stand up as well as cotton to the glue.
If you like sparkly things, make them out of something pretty and put glitter glue or half pearls or rhinestones on instead of country buttons.
ENJOY!
