A tree, with sequins and beads:
A snowflake. For this one I strung plastic and glass beads on the inside, to emphasize the snowflakiness:
A star (which I may or may not embellish):
A cutting error left me with an extra mesh strip, so I covered it in pink fabric and played around with it until I got a heart shape:
I sewed a bit of lace onto it, and am pondering more embellishments. It will join my heart collection (which apparently I have not blogged yet).
