Part 17: Cookie for Santa Ornamnet

Supplies:

• size 5 pearl cotton embroidery thread
• needle/ scissors
• felt color for cookie and tag
• optional beads or sequins for chips on cookie
• fuzzy yarn

Order of events:

1. Cut circles for cookies and cut tag shapes.
2. Add cookie to corner of tag; use French or colonial knots to attach to tag (optional here; you could use seed beads or sequins instead).
3. Stitch around edge of tag with blanket stitch. One I couched the fuzzy yarn; on the other I used it to do the blanket stitch. Either way, rough up yarn with finger nail after stitching to make it fuzzy and not matted down.
4. Embroider desired words. I didn't draw letters ahead of time because I wanted it to be more free-form, like a little child wrote it. I also did not do this before the cookies and edging because I wanted to see how much space I had to work, with but you can do those three steps in any order you wish to make it easy for you.
   
5. Add hanger; done.
