Funky Stocking Ornaments

Here are the first few ornaments for 2011.  I started out making them for my ornament exchange but decided they were so fun and different I would try to sell a few, too.  Click on the photo to go to the etsy listing.

In the photos they look pretty big, but they are only six inches long.  Each ornament comes with a curly hanger. They all have little bells on the toes, and most have a little light on the hanger.
 SOLD

I love the blue and green together.  I have used several different fibers on the top of this one, and it sort of looks like the sock is wearing a scarf.  This stocking is sold.

 This one has several buttons glued on it, with glitter embellishing here and there to add some sparkle.

 I let the paper do the talking on this little sock.  It is very Christmas-y with stockings, ornaments, and candy stripes.  There are little spots of glitter here and there to add some sparkle, and (you can't see it in the picture) a polka-dotted ribbon on the hanger.

 I love this paper combination.  It is Christmas without being red and green. Under all that wild fiber there is an orange Christmas light hiding. This is really fresh and funky!

This is spoken for so it isn't for sale, but I wanted to show it off, anyway.  Rather than add toe and heel, I added a sole in pink glitter paper on top of the flocked background. Then I added feathers and flowers, and tied a black and pink ribbon to the hanger.  It is bold and a little wild!

I have used bits and pieces of this KI Memories Christmas paper for several years, and I have never tired of it.  I love the non-traditional look of the pink with green.  The lights let you know it is still Christmas paper, and I have added a little bit of ribbon with some reindeer on it around the cuff and a little light on the hanger.

This little sock is glitz and glitter all over the place!  All the papers have glitter on them, and I have added bits of glitter to the seams of the toe and heel.  I took a piece of crocheted lace and tied it together to make a bow, then made a little pom-pom out of the fiber to put in the middle.  The photo just really doesn't do it justice--it is a cutie!!

This one is spoken for. Another non-traditional color combination but the bells and lights let you know it is a tree ornament.  This has glitter, metallic spritz, and rhinestones on it to make it shine on the tree.

I have sixteen cut out, nine are finished, and one more that needs some additions to it.  I will be making another 16 once these are done.
