Right now sitting on my desk are lots of Christmas ornaments. One of the ones I made several years ago, a buffalo by Peteid, could be a stand-up except for one thing – I can’t hide the hanger.
But finisher Susan Thompson has developed a unique solution for this problem. Her small stand-ups can double as ornaments, or is it that her ornaments can double as stand-ups? Anyhow, the back of the ornament has a button attached to it. When it’s not Christmas, you can hide the hanger by looping it onto the button. It’s just the coolest idea!
Ask your finisher to do this for your ornaments.
