To get back into tatting and to get ready for Christmas, I thought I would tat something for our Christmas tree. The pattern is called Tree Decoration by Jennifer Williams.

This was tatted using Lizbeth #20 white thread and ~1cm long silver beads. I wanted to get it done quickly so I left out the beads around the outside. I also did not add a jump ring at the top as I did not have one to use.
I've made so many mistakes with this pattern but overall I am happy with the finished tatted ornament. Now I just need to stiffen it and add a string to hang on our tree.
That's it for now. Thanks for visiting my blog :).
Cheers,
Jenn :).

Life, work and family have a nasty habit of eating up the time we want for fun! I understand fully.
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament. I don't see any mistakes. And, thank you for the pattern link!
Thank you :). I re-tatted 3 mistakes :). One I had to cut out because I couldn't undo it. You're welcome for the link. It is a nice pattern and I hope to do it in colours :).
