Liberty Gift Box Ornament

Dec 11, 2016 by quiltjane 2 Comments

Yesterday, while I was tinkering in my studio, I decided to put my Liberty scraps to good use and make a English Paper Pieced ornament that also doubles as a tiny gift box. The little 2″ sided box could house a chocolate, jewellery, or a silver thimble for your quilty friend. Of course, this design is not restricted to 2″. Any side could be made from equilateral triangle shapes.

Requirements

  • Find some scraps, at least 2 1/2″ to 3″ square. You will need 4 for outside and 4 for inside
  • 8 – 2″ sided 60 degree diamond EPP papers. Light card stock is recommended
  • Fabric glue pen
  • Matching fine thread for EPP
  • Button
  • 12 wt Aurifil cotton or fine ribbon, perle cotton to hang ornament

Preparation

  • Trace the 2″ sided 60 degree diamond shape on back of Liberty scraps.
  • Cut 1/4″ around drawn shape.
  • Baste or glue the 8 triangles – 4 for outside and 4 for inside.
  • Whip stitch 4 triangles together to make outside and 4 to make inside.

Pyramid Assembly

  • Whip stitch 4 triangles together to make outside and 4 to make inside.

 

 

 

  • Sew button near tip of outside pyramid.

 

 

  • Place the outside and inside pyramids wrong sides together and whipstitch together.
  • Fold up the sides A and B and secure tip with a few stitches of matching thread.

 

  • Attach a long loop of cotton or ribbon to tip of A and B. This wraps around the button and then loop fits over tree branch.

Enjoy the spirit of Christmas and make someone happy with a handcrafted gift made with a heap of love.
