I tried making a couple of fabric Christmas ornaments but wasn't entirely happy with the result. I guess they are OK, but I have tons of ornaments, and I only put the favorites on the my tree. I will probably save them and use them next year as gift card holders. https://amisimms.wordpress.com/2015/12/11/origami-folded-fabric-ornaments/ This year's gift cards are already wrapped.
I was so surprised to see this type of ornament for sale at a ART GALLERY in Fredericksburg, VA! I think some quilts are art, but this type of ornament certainly is not. These each took me about 10 minutes to do. I experimented with the size and like the smaller one (which was traced around a roll of ribbon) better than the large one (traced around a pan lid). I also had no shank buttons, so I used an jingle bell left over from an old craft project of my kids.

You are still in the black after the additions, so you are doing well on the stash management. Have a very happy holiday.
Sometimes what is sold amazes me. The freshening of your stash seems to be coming along swimmingly.
The ornaments look cute. I like the smaller one too. You are keeping in the black on stash management, which is a good thing. Only one more week to go. Yipee.
I like the idea of using a bell instead of a button.
