Hearts & Stars Ornaments Pattern

Once upon a time there was a young lady who wanted to use her talents to help add to her family's income. She gathered up all her yarn and sat down to wield her hook into all kinds of wonderful creations. At the last minute she found out one of the requirements was mountains of ornaments from all the amazing crafters. With only a few days left before the deadline she feared "What will I do?'!!

She spent the first hours pondering idea after idea, throwing them all out as they were too detailed and would take more time than she had left. Then she decided to procrastinate some more and clean up her craft room of course. Unbeknownst to her, while cleaning she would stumble upon a bag of bells and a jar of small buttons. When she sat down again she was inspired, well forced really with barely any time left, to keep it simple. That is how these cute little ornaments came to be.

Simply put, I didn't pay attention and ran out of time so I had to come up with something quick, cute and cheap because all I had on hand were the leftovers. That being said these little cuties are still a hit MANY years later so I think I'll keep procrastinating and see what happens next.

Here's what you'll need to get started......
