How to make a Plaid Tidings Embroidery Hoop Ornament

I guess you might say I’ve gone a little overboard on the Buffalo Plaid this year.

How can I help myself, I just love it all.

I got a little inspired by a Christmas ad I saw for clothes and decided to make this ornament.

It’s another quick and easy Holiday Ornament to make.

A perfect little gift for your Plaid Loving friends like me.
