Thank you!!

Honestly, I just have to convert them to PDFs, and you can have templates of the pieces if you want them.

Let me know if it doesn’t work. I turned the shapes into line drawings to save on ink when printing, but they are designed to cut to the outside edge of each shape as much as possible. I included a full layout that matches mine (and realized that you can only really see one ornament prominently in any of my pics, so you can’t really tell there are three different ornaments). But of course, that is just a “serving suggestion”

Could you tell me the diameter of your skirt? I want to make one for my sister with her cookie designs but am not sure of the size. I don’t have anything except a small tree…she will have a fairly large one…over six feet at least…I don’t want it to look skimpy.

It’s about 40" in diameter. I didn’t take it out and measure it flat, so that is approximate, but 40" is probably a good place to aim.

No problem at all! I was already planning on putting them in a blog post, so I was getting them ready. :smiley: Thank YOU for making it worthwhile.

Thanks! That will give me a head start! And…wow…how generous of you to share your templates…I am thinking of making some vintage ornaments for a high school friend of mine and might try my hand at making felt ornaments using some of your patterns!

They’d be super fun to make! And if you want to use the same sort of knotted cord cap as I did, I used this tutorial, but with three cords: I mean, it’s really very simple, and you may already have experience with it. But yeah. :smiley:
