Peacocks are the most festive birds, don’t you think? It’s like they carry around their own personal Christmas tree, ready to celebrate with a gorgeous display of feathers! Their tails are the ultimate in fancy ornamentation!

The Peacock Ornament is the perfect canvas for trying out some fun embellishment. It’s got layered felt in several colors and  some cut-out shapes. The embroidery stitches are basic and there’s no sewing machine needed for construction. Go crazy and add some beads, sequins or other doodads if you’d like some sparkle! The back of the tail has a full layer of felt that hides your knots and thread tails. It’s also a good place to stitch a name, date, or other personalization.

If you’re not yet a member of the 2018 Holiday Stitch-along Ornament Club you can still join! The club runs until the end of the year. You can read the FAQ page about the club here.
