When a loved one passes, you want to do something special to remember then each holiday season. I made these special ornaments for my siblings out of some of our Dad's favorite shirts. They're not perfect. They're kinda funny looking birds. But they're the perfect reminder of our father. Just seeing the patterns of his favorite shirts on the tree bring back so many memories.
SUPPLIES:
Cut the following pieces for each bird:
Sew the wings on:
With right sides facing, sew around the outside of the bird, but leave a 1" opening to flip and then stuff the bird:
Flip bird right side out:
Stuff and hand stitch closed. Then add a button eye to each side and a ribbon to hang with:
Hang and admire!
