My Thoughts
Plaid Tidings is the third ornament in the Merry Moments ornament collection which is part of Hands on Designs patreon ornament club. Each month you get the design, a list of supplies, and step by step real time tutorials on how to finish the ornaments. This seemingly straightforward finish was actually a great learning experience and has boosted my confidence in doing front/back finishes without trim around the edge. I have been trying my best to “use what I have” for finishing supplies and love that I could incorporate some of my old stash of cardmaking/scrapbooking supplies to complete this one! Decorating my tree this Christmas is going to be so much fun!
