Dragonboat Ornament

In October 2005, my EGA chapter held a special interest class to learn to make this ornament. The original appears to have been created by Bernice Allison in May 2003.

This is a fairly simple project in which you:

  • diagram the pattern onto a piece of cardboard
  • cut the shape
  • score some lines
  • insert a hanging loop
  • fold and tape the cardboard into this 6-sided shape
  • insert pins in each point
  • wrap the shape with thread
The original directions call for changing the thread to vary the colors of the ornament.

I chose to use a single thread instead. I used a gold crochet cotton that has a twist of gold metallic running through it. The pearlized pin head and the metallic thread give this ornament a lot of glow and sparkle.

This was a quick project. It only took an hour or two from start to finish. It reminds me a lot of the God's Eyes that my daughters learned to make in elementary school.

I did not include step-by-step directions here because I did not seek permission to post the instructions. Unfortunately, I won't be able to share this pattern.
