We are lucky enough to have a beautiful Christmas tree here in the C&T office. It always smells fabulous, but the ornament inventory seems to change a little every day. It’s always got a healthy dose of lights, Santa Clauses, and other store-bought ornaments that have been donated by employees over the years. But my personal favorites are the ornaments that are handmade, and inspired by or made from C&T books and products. These are the ornaments that seem to come out of nowhere. And many of them disappear again, probably taken home to be wrapped as gifts for the people their makers had in mind.
My contribution: I made this holiday giraffe ornament from fast2fuse and cotton fabric. I used the giraffe pattern in Mary Link’s book 100+ No-Sew Fabric Crafts for Kids but of course had to make it a bit more festive and imaginary with the red and green spotted fabric.
This pretty posey was made by Tristan out of Lutradur® Mixed Media Sheets and made bright and beautiful with Liquitex® paint.
At one point the entire tree was covered with Sock Bunnies. This Santa Sock Bunny was made by Lynne, our receptionist, and the polka dot bunny was made by Adrianne.
This happy playing card ornament was made by Lynn who dressed up some paper pop-outs from Fantastiques with glitter glue and and a feather. The book may be out of print now, but will continue to be represented on the C&T Christmas Tree!
Here’s a photo I took of the tree during the Sock Bunny rampage last week.

My favorite is the fast2fuse. I’ll have to look for that book to make ornies with the grandkids. Thank you.
I ♥ the sock bunnies.
So cute.
