Look how tiny some of those pieces are! And because I'm a classic over-achiever where these ornaments are concerned, I decided to STITCH on the polka dots using 1/8" punched circles. I'm pretty sure it took over an hour just to cut the darn thing out! That might've been my first clue.
Once again -- lots of gluing on this, which is not my favorite thing, but the engineering was a nightmare and that was the only way to get the whole thing together once everything was stitched and stuffed. This seemed like it took a hundred years to make, but it was totally worth it:
The kids love them and can't wait to see them on the tree this Christmas. I saw Mariah thumbing through that Disney book as if she was looking to see what other ornaments she'd like me to make from it. I put it away somewhere that NO ONE will ever find it!
