Lighted Ornament Garland

 
Annie's Publishing recently put out their 2015 Christmas special issue of many types of crafts for the holidays. It's a nice issue with full size pattern pieces inside on pull out sheets.  It covers a variety of crafts for many skill levels. 
 
 
I was fortunate enough for them to include one of my designs. 

 
It is a lighted ornament garland.  The ornaments are worked in 2 halves with one half having a large enough opening to slip over a bulb on a Christmas light string.   The halves are stiffened and then glued together with fabric glue.  They can also be used individually as single ornaments with a decorative ribbon tied around the joining and tied together at the ends of the ribbon to hang.  They look beautiful hanging under the mantle as in this photo or laying on top of a pine garland.  You can get your copy of the issue at https://www.anniescatalog.com/detail.html?prod_id=125824&cat_id=25.  The book is available in print or download form.  There are many great ideas for the holidays!!
