Ornament Coasters

 

Designed by Kathryn Rubinstein

Just got those school pictures back of your kids, now here's a nice little picture frame ornament for your loved ones this holiday. It uses Kreinik Heavy (#32) Braid plus sequins and spangles to capture the sparkle of the season.

(Here's another idea: get together a group of crafters or kids to make several frames for a girl scout troop or for a nursing home, whose residents would be delighted to have their picture taken and inserted into an ornament.)

Materials needed:

• Kreinik Very Fine (#4) Braid 009 Emerald, 2 spools
• Kreinik Very Fine (#4) Braid 015 Chartreuse, 1 spool
• Kreinik Fine (#8) Braid 061 Ruby, 1 spool
