Some ornaments come out of the box every December and earn their place on the tree the way a story earns its retelling. This is a small, curated collection of heirloom-worthy Christmas ornaments, the kind of pieces a family hangs and then talks about the next year.
The collection currently features the Star Ornaments by Paper Pieces and the Moravian Star, both English paper piecing templates that turn into handmade ornaments through the slow handwork of basting and stitching small fabric shapes. They are the kind of project you start in September and finish in time to wrap on Christmas Eve, and the finished ornaments outlast the season by decades.
For more of the handwork side of seasonal making, browse our full English paper piecing collection, the broader Christmas crafts selection, and even the Old World Christmas ornaments for the blown-glass classics.
