Boiled Wool Christmas Tree Ornaments
The jacket was almost free so the price was certainly right but I'm not a boiled wool jacket kind of lady so I had another idea for this great jacket.
I got out my scissors and started cutting.
I cut enough triangles out of this jacket to fill a basket.

Cutting boiled wool is easy and it doesn't ravel.
I sewed each of the triangles around 2 sides leaving the bottom open for stuffing.
I used Polyfil pillow stuffing and stuffed each triangle.
Before I closed the third side with a quick hitch stitch, I added a distressed clothespin for the stem.
A rusty bell finished off the top for a little junky bling.

The little boiled wool tree ornaments are perfect for tying to a package or add a string at the top and hang from a Christmas tree.
I love them as bowl fillers for Christmas!

Beautiful too in a bowl or basket on display.
They were super simple to make!
This basket full of trees is going to be sold at a local craft fair.
A great use for a great old jacket!
Update: They sold like hotcakes at the craft fair!
