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.

Lovely ornaments!
Maya, these would be beautiful on the tree or in a basket - well done, you!
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.
These are beautifully done, Maya! They look gorgeous displayed together in a basket.
Pretty items.
Thank you Ruşyena!
Thank you Kate! I am going to display these on my dresser :)
Thank you Julie! Our Christmas tree is only in gold and red these past years, so I am hoping for a boho Christmas next year :)
Thank you Marie! xx
Thanks!
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. :-)
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 🤣
Thank you on the sweet comment Kim! It brighetened my day! xx
Thank you Julie!
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!
super, super cute!!! I could see these in Anthropologie. Great Job! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
XO- MaryJo
How pretty! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
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 :/
I'm glad I don't have to pick a favorite, I love them all.
