This little stenciled ornament should be called Oops. Why? Because there was one after the other while I was making this using Sue Pelletier’s Loose Dress stencil over at StencilGirl. This was supposed to be a little purse/bag to give as a gift…then an Oops happened so that wasn’t possible…My carefully thought out plan went out the window pretty quickly…
You can watch Making an ornament out of a stencil, fabric and Gelli prints on YouTube here.

This is adorable. I just saw Judy’s too. Love it.
What a great idea!
Yay! What an imaginative ornament…the kids would love it!
Very precious! …. and so creative!
Oh Carolyn, I was literally laughing out loud (with you!!! not at you) as I watched your ‘oops’ moments in this video! I love your little bag idea…and think you should revisit that now that you know the pit falls…maybe try the old right sides together stitching idea and then turn it ;o) but the ornament is so adorable! Such a fun and original ornament!
Hi Carolyn, I love your Oops style. I spend so much time planning a project & preparing for all the possible problems that at the end of planning I’m bored with the idea & don’t actually end up making anything 😉 The ornament turned out to be so adorable & I love the idea of turning the stencil into a bag. The best thing is you’ve already listed some of the potential problems = less prep 🙂
Love this ornament. And I love these stencils.
Love how your oops turned out.
This turned out just as it should have – a super whimsical ornament. I love it. Samy and I laughed out loud watching your video. It was wonderful.
I loved seeing this oopsie process, but you know.. I love how it came out. It’s perfect. I think putting this on a tree, they will see it all the time. Great idea.
I love it when your oop’s come together in new and surprising ways. xox
OOps! You did it again! heehee Great piece Carolyn! Looking forward to the purse too!
First, I love the ornament. Second, I loved hearing how it all came to be, complete with oooops and giggles!

I love the ornament and the ooops that brought it to that. I hate when I get my add wet paint before I am done but I always think I will forget to do it if I don’t know.. I love your process. Fun video all the time.
What a great idea to take an oops and turn it into something pretty
Sometimes the oops moments have the most wonderful results. Your ornament is proof of this…it’s darling. Thanks for sharing, Carolyn!
Made my day. Love how you kept going even though you oops moments. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Clever idea to put the dress on the head. Looks cute nestled in among the ornaments. Great job.
