Free Paper Snowman Pattern

Here is a belated Christmas gift for Snowman fans.   This is a 3D snowman, that is easy and fun to make.  I originally designed this for a digital cutter, so the snowflakes were not a problem.  I have redesigned it so that it can be printed out, then cut with scissors.  I think he will be just as cute solid, but you could use a snowflake punch also.  One trick though, I sew the snowman pieces together (using a long stitch) and then fold each piece.  Just make sure that the one snowman body with a head is sandwiched in the middle of the pieces.  Let me know if you make one, and how it turned out.  Click on Links below to get patterns.

Happy New Year to all!

 Christmas Wall Hanging and Lantern

 For the first time, I put my digital designs on Etsy.

Check them out at:

They are both very simple to assemble.  I really simplified the Lanterns by using copies of the figures, rather than make them part of the digital cutting file.  The Lantern frame is easy and simple enough to cut with and Exacto knife.  Let me know how you like them?

I love a challenge, if you have something you would like designed?  send me a note.

Burlap Wreath

My Daughter-in-law loves things made with burlap. So, I made her a burlap wreath.  I love to make her happy.  I looked at many, many wreaths on Pinterest, but could not find one I really liked.  I decided to do ruffles.  It took three widths of of 8 inch wide, and three widths of 6 inch wide.  I just pulled up a burlap thread to ruffle.  I used a wire wreath, and sewed the 8 inch ruffle directly to the middle top, two wires.  I sewed the 6 inch ruffle to the middle of the 8 inch ruffle.  I used a large embroidery needle, and pulled burlap thread.  Really pretty easy.  I did not attach the flowers permanently, I thought she could easily change the decorations through the seasons.

I also made her a burlap table runner.
