Stuffed Star Photo Ornament

[Sue89]

Whew! I've been wracking my brain all week trying to figure out how to make this pattern work for me: Stuffed Star Ornament I had no 2" lucite ring and even if I had it seemed like it would make the ornament too big. Still, I loved the idea of the pattern and desperately wanted to make it for my friend who is one of the few people who loves my crocheted gifts. This year I bought her a gift from the store instead, but wanted to make an ornament to hang from the bow on her package.

 

Finally I found some spare key rings from a previous craft project and realized it would be just the right size. I left off the final round on the star, and adjusted the pattern for the back side slightly. The result is an itty bitty star with a picture of her two dogs (her children) in the center.

That's great! Cute little star and cute kids. I'm sure she'll love it... it's both made by you and has her kids on it. Can't go wrong there!
