This year I did an ornament exchange with some friends and friends of friends. It has been really fun going to the mailbox each day to find a beautiful handmade ornament waiting for me. For mine I made these little scotty dogs and I thought I would share them with you.
When I was young I loved scotty dogs (although I am no longer much of a pet person) and one of my most memorable Christmas gifts ever was receiving a stuffed animal scotty dog from my parents. So the sentiment in me decided to stick with the theme.I used this free pattern online from www.allsorts.typepad.com and just shrunk it down in size quite a bit. While a bit time consuming, they were very easy to make and I am so happy with the way that they turned out.
Here they are ready to post. To package them I just cut up some old paper shopping bags and stitched around the edges to seal them.
The dogs are cute as can be, but what I love is your packaging method. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jane, while the dogs are really cute, I'm in LOVE with your packaging method!
ReplyDeleteThose are SO cute! I'm in love with them!! Thanks for all the ideas and tips and everything! It's a Christmas present all year long!!
ReplyDeleteMy Goodness, I think I love the packaging almost as much as the dogs! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with everyone else. Both the dogs AND the packaging are fantastic!! Thanks so much for the share.
