How fortunate I am

Each year I love to get my kids a new ornament. My mom started the idea when they were born and I've ran with it! This year I think this is what I will be making for them.
I found this cute idea on Pinterest. (Of course!!) :-)
Here is the link I found it on, which you can find here.
My directions are super similar to her's.
I used a piece of cotton and flannel. Although it seems a little floppy. Might be better if you used flannel and felt. Cut two circles out, one from each fabric.

Layer them on top of each other, right sides out. Stitch all the way around the edge. I used the width of my presser foot for the measurement.

 Trim with pinking shears careful not to get too close to your stitching.
 Fold in half like a taco, with the fabric print you want facing out in the finished product, folded in.
 Stitch about an inch or so in the middle, not going all the way to the edges.
 Start turning inside out. Hard to explain, but once you start turning it, you'll get the idea of what it needs to look like.

 Add a ribbon of choice so it can hang on your tree. You can even add a message inside if you so desire.
 Enjoy your day,
-D
