Joy Bears Christmas Ornament Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Joy Bears Christmas Ornament 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

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.
