Joy Bears Christmas Ornament
Crochet Pattern
I thought it would be fun to make a
Joy Bear Christmas Ornament.
I Just love how sweet it stitched up and
how easy it is to make.
Make your ornament to match your Joy Bear
or make them in all different colors.
You can never have too many Joy Bears!
The ornament can be stuffed with polyfiberfil
stuffing or use the flat plastic ornaments we
used on the Scrap Happy Christmas Ornaments.
Both methods will work for this fun
and cute Christmas ornament.
There are 2 styles of the Joy Bear ornament,
which depends on what you stuff the bear with.
I Love Both Styles. And of course, you can
decide what colors you want your bears.
The Joy Bear ornament is so cute
and easy to stitch up and their cute faces
make me smile. And Because you can make them
in all different colors it is another fun
Yarn Stash Busting Project, too
Get in your yarn stash, button stash,
ribbons stash and Have some fun creating all sorts
of styles of The Joy Bear Christmas ornaments.
