Burlap Bird Ornaments

I am so excited for Christmas! I can't wait until the day after Thanksgiving to get the trees up and I must confess I have already been listening to Christmas music.

I always have 2 trees~ the 'family' tree in the family room with all my keepsake ornaments and the really dear to my heart ones made by my kids when they were little. The 'girl' tree, as my late husband called it, is in the formal living room. It is pink, ivory and gold in a Victorian theme.   This year I also plan to have a small French Country tree on top of my armoire in the dining room. It will feature these tiny burlap birds.

I started with the burlap type fabric, (really a coarse onsaburg) and ironed some Heat N Bond to one side. Then I traced and cut out my birds.

I also cut two birds from fabric without the the Heat N Bond.  I then ironed the pieces together and stamped my french script pattern with StayZon ink.

The final step was sewing on a jute loop for hanging. 

My pretty little tree!
