Bohemian Christmas Ornaments - pattern release

Here they are! 

My fingertips hurt like crazy, but I managed to sew every single bead, and stitching these lovelies was truly worth it. I love them all, but the blue one is my favourite. 

The pattern which is in my etsy shop, contains patterns for 6 ornaments (pinwheel, strawberry-shaped bauble, bulb, Chinese lantern, round ornament, diamond).

The patterns are accompanied by elaborate explanations and descriptions of how to decorate these ornaments. However, this is purely optional and is given as inspiration. I kindly invite you to use your imagination, as well as the materials you have at hand to create unique and eye-catching ornaments. 

I used DK yarn for all of these and a 3mm hook (UK11) (US 10/3) . 

Other supplies needed: embroidery floss, sewing thread in color matching the color of the ornament / sequins/beads (preferably), sewing and tapestry needle, filling, glass / pearl, seed (round) beads, sequins, crochet (fabric) flowers, decorative ribbons. 


Stitches: chain (ch), chain space (ch-space), skip (sk), slip stitch (sl st), single crochet (sc), single crochet 2together (sc2tog), double crochet (dc), double crochet 2 together (dc2tog), 3-dc puff stitch. American terminology used.

You made such gorgeous looking Christmas ornaments Maya. I love the color combos and the bead work on them. They must look so pretty on a Christmas tree. Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

They are so very lovely and sparkly. I can feel the pain in my wrists just looking at them. HA! You have a whole lot of patience and boat load of creativity. Happy holidays!

Oh wow oh wow!! Truly Maya, your Bohemian ornaments are exquisite. It's a wonder your fingertips haven't fallen off. =) How fabulously clever you are. I love them all.....the pink pretty, I think, might be my favourite.

These are stunning, worth the sore fingers!

I love how they turned out! I can't help but imagine how sparkly your Christmas tree looks at night when the lights are on. :-)

Maya Kuzman said...

Thank you Tammy! Yes, patience is my virtue, but what also keeps me going more is that I am extremenly stubborn and determined to finish a project, so that helps a lot 🤣

Maya Kuzman said...

Thank you on the sweet comment Kim! It brighetened my day! xx

Maya Kuzman said...

Thank you Julie!

Maya Kuzman said...

They make the atmosphere quite dreamy, N. We turn off the lights and only the tree sparkles with its lights and ornaments. We love it!

Hi, MaryJo and thank you for the lovely comparison :)
I tried leaving a comment on your repurposed bulb ornaments (they are amazing), but your typepad didn't let me sign in and kept throwing me out :/
