I've been wanting to make Jesse Tree Ornaments for several years - but the holidays are such a busy time that I've never gotten around to it. So this year I decided to start in the summer to be done by Advent! It also took me awhile to decide on what medium to use - after several considerations and experiments, I've decided on felt. I'm tickled with how the first one came out - the branch of Jesse.
For more information on what a Jesse Tree is as well as ideas and patterns for making these ornaments, check here, here, and here.
P.S. The ornament is laying on one of the TV trays that my mom picked up for me at a local auction. I've been looking for a set for a long time to use during lunchtime when the boys and I enjoy "Andy Griffith" or "I Love Lucy" with our meal. TV trays were especially popular in the '50s and '60s. When I was a little girl, my grandmother would serve Sunday supper to us on her set of TV trays while we watched "The Wonderful World of Disney."
