These are the first two of a set of six ornaments I'm making for my oldest daughter. The finished ornaments are approximately 5 inches in diameter. They were trickier to make than I expected. It took four test ornaments before I figured out what was going to work. The method I settled upon required the attachment of a cotton lining to each circle of burlap using a buttonhole stitch before the two circles were sewn together, turned inside out, and stuffed. I found this to be the best way to stabilize the burlap so that the seams didn't tear out when they were turned to the inside.
I finished attaching the lace to all of the ornaments this evening. All that is left is to attach the remaining ribbons. I'll post pictures of the other four next time.

Happy tatting!

These burlap ornaments are very attractive, and show off the tatting so nicely!
Very pretty !!! A 2-in-1 display :-)
Burlap can be so tricky to sew - glad you found a solution.
Now waiting to see more of the ornaments :-)
What a great idea, the burlap texture contrasts well with the delicate tatting. Yes burlap is not easy to work with. I make a burlap hat last year, so I sympathise.
Tat's a great way to show off your tatting! Thanks for the tip of lining the burlap. I've avoided working with it, because I was too lazy to figure out how to stabilize it. Now I know!
What a wonderful juxtaposition of the délicat with the sturdy! Beautiful!
Lovely tatting and placing it on burlap💟🎄💟
Those are great!! :)
Great ornaments!
Lovely tatting and I agree the burlap is tricky, lining it it's a clever solution, thanks for sharing.
Thank you all very much. I've had no time to finish the remaining ornaments this weekend, but I hope to finish them up soon.
So pretty!
