Christmas Robins

These were super quick to make and ended up totally adorable! They're made of brown felt and Christmassy fabric with gold ribbon

See? Super cute right?!? I used the red based fabrics that I have, though I might also make some with the green and gold fabrics I have cos why not?

Close ups of each of them because they are equally adorable. Also, they are both double sided for twice the cuteness!

I used little seed beads for the eyes because they looked sad without eyes and who could inflict sadness on such a cutie?!?

And here's where I show off their true potential as adorable chocolate holding tree ornaments. Only a smallish chocolate, true, but they could equally be filled with a heartfelt message to a loved one, a pinch of fairy dust, or any other tiny gift. And then of course they will hand nicely on your tree

The chocolates shown here are about the same size as a quality street/roses chocolate, so all the traditional Christmas chocolates should fit in here. But not all at once. That would be ridiculous. The robin is also fairly free-hanging in this picture, showing that the chocolates do not make him weirdly weighted or anything.

So there you have it. I'm thinking of putting these on my etsy in time for Christmas. No idea how much to sell them for. They take about 30-60 mins each. Thoughts?

Summary:

Cute as anything

Successful start to my Christmas crafts adventures

I can totes draw things! (yes I designed these entirely by myself. I'm as amazed as anyone!)

Gonna make so many more of these

Also have so much more confidence about the other stuff I wanna make
