This looks like such a cute idea! You could make these for all your relatives with little pictures of your kids. This would be super cute if you have a new baby also. Imagine a cute little baby forever captured on your familys Christmas trees for years to come! Thank you for the great pattern!

For a small project, this took longer to work up than I expected. I had initially planned to make one for each of my grandchildren, but gave up after the first set. The pattern is well written, but I found the multiple steps more than I wanted to tackle for such a mediocre projects. I could probably achieve the same result with felt and a hot glue gun. I really wanted to like this project, but I dont.
