This is the perfect little ornament for the crafter on your list. For me, (although I’m a crafter myself if you hadn’t guessed) that’s my daughter, who has recently dived into sewing, gluing and painting with both feet. So this year I’ve made her a special little sewing themed ornament for her little bedroom tree. If you have a little (or big) crafter that needs something special for their tree, look no further.

Things you’ll need:
Wooden spool
Buttons
Embroidery thread
Embroidery needle

Things to do:
1. Wrap thread around the spool until it looks nice and full. Tie off or glue the end in place.

2. Thread the needle with about a 12-inch piece of embroidery thread.
3. Stack your buttons and spool and more buttons in the order you want them to hang.
4. Draw the needle and thread through the button you want on the top and then through the rest of the stack. When you get to the bottom, leave a generous loop and draw the thread back up in the opposite order.

5. Tie a knot at the bottom and the top, creating a loop at the top for hanging and trim the bottom loop into tails for decoration.
