Today's ornament is an embroidery of the Baby Jesus. I originally made some of these with regular embroidery hoops. But then I saw a great idea and just had to use it. A wide-mouth canning ring used as a frame.

 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:14

First, let me tell you my little secret of finding these cute little embroideries patterns for free. Coloring pages. Yep, I searched the net for nativity themed coloring pages, printed them out to the size I wanted and traced them onto the fabric. Then it was just a matter of stitching them.
Here are the links to the pages I used:
Holy Family 
Baby Jesus
Baby Jesus with Sheep

Here's a step by step of how I framed them with a canning ring:

Step 1 - Gather your supplies: You will need your embroidery, a piece of batting, a wide mouth canning ring, twine, hot glue and two pieces of cardboard. {I used the top of the canning ring to trace onto the cardboard and then cut them out.}

Step 2 - Place your embroidery face down, place the batting on top and then the cardboard circle. Make sure it's centered on your embroidery

Step 3 - Place all three pieces from step 2 into your canning ring.

Step 4 - Hot glue the fabric down.

Step 5 - Hot glue around your second piece of cardboard and place it in the ring.

Step 6 - Now I needed to figure out how to hang it. I pushed out the embroidery and then hot glued a piece of twine inside the canning ring. Then pushed the embroidery back in place.

 I love this sweet little scene.

And another that I did using a regular embroidery hoop.
