Wow! I just found and downloaded the Hanging Fabric Christmas Tree on this site and now here's an ornament that will sure look great on it! Must be my lucky day!!! There are sooooo many lovely Christmas fabrics out in the stores this time of year. It might be hard to choose! I just had another thought...why not make these up for other seasons of the year with other symbols of those seasons...like hearts for Valentine's Day, bunnies or crosses for Easter, flags for Fourth of July. You could make them so they could attach over a button on a ribbon and have one up year round!
