Wood Slice String Craft Ornaments

I had a book about string craft on my Amazon Wish List last Christmas that my son and daughter-in-law got for me.  This summer I did order the wood slices to do at least one of the projects in the book and finally last month I set my mind to actually doing the project.  

I first had to use my dremel tool to drill the holes in the disks according to the patterns in the book.  I have to thank HWNSNBP for the use of one of his clamps which made it a hundred times easier.


I have a small stash of embroidery floss which came in handy.


And I just had to pick out the color combos I wanted to use, thread the floss on a needle and follow the stitching chart for each one.


I managed a dozen string craft ornaments which I think I'll either use for package tags or make a garland out of.  


There are a couple of other projects I hope to get to in this book.  When I do, I'll be sure to share.

  3. Oh, beautiful! If I show these to DH he will wish he had kept the coaster-size slice he trimmed off the bottom of the tree yesterday. I think they would make a wonderful wreath.or garland.
    p.s.I still have my bird mats.
