My friend Susan does an amazing job of finishing and has recently started a blog. She showed, in an illustrated tutorial, her method for finishing an open ornament.
Her model uses a hat, pictured here, but this is exactly the technique you would use for mini-socks, bells, full-size stockings, mittens, or any object you want to be open and lined, but not stiff like a purse or box.
Thanks, Susan!
