Handmade Ornaments

This is the last week of school for the boys, and I’ve been getting the Christmas party treats together for Dylan’s class. I really enjoy being room mom, and getting to catch up with everyone during the year. While we don’t have to be there for the party, we do need little gifts for the stockings. Oh yeah, Thade’s class needs them too.

So I started thinking, Dylan’s class has about twenty-two kids, and I think Thade’s has twenty-three. I really didn’t feel like running to the store to pick-up stocking stuffers, so I decided to go the d.i.y. route, and see what I could come up with.

I started with my crochet books (that my brother gave me) and looked for some inspiration. I found a different way to make hexagons, that started with rounds, and I thought that would make cute ornaments.

I also had everything on hand to get started, so no extra trip to the store for me.

I got to work, and made a few rounds.

I thought they looked pretty cute, and Dylan approved.

The little ornaments were quick to crochet too.

I think they are pretty cute too.

Once Dylan’s were all finished, I started working on the ornaments for Thade’s class.

I added on an extra row too.

I hope the kiddos like them.

It was a fun afternoon crochet project, and I saved a little bit too.
