Cameoroze left a comment pointing to a free tutorial Pompom Candy Cane Ornaments. Check them out as these are quick, cheap, ideal projects for older children to make, and not too heavy on the tree. While on the site check out the crafts page as there are many other freebies on offer too.
Thanks for pointing your readers to my site, Sharon!
For five other tutorials in how to finish stitched ornaments, I have several more step-by-step “slide show” tutorials in Cameo’s Completions.
