"On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, Six Geese a Laying." So, here is our grand, fancy feathered goose, sitting on her iridescent sparkling eggs. Such fun to make and decorate, too!

Pattern
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Print out the front and the back of the Pattern.
  2. Sandwich card stock between the front and back, glue. NOTE: be sure the tops and bottoms are facing the right way.
  3. Following outside edges, cut all three layers of pattern.
  4. Using the photograph for reference, carefully cut and glue trims to the ornament as follows:
  5. Cut six tassels from the header. Glue them randomly over the nest, three to the left and three to the right.
  6. Cut two pieces of iridescent rick rack, a measure of 8 points.
  7. Put a dot of glue 1" apart and all the way down the length of the rick rack.
  8. Begin rolling the rick rack up to create an egg shape, until it is all wound. Glue the end down securely.
  9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 for a total of two eggs.
  10. Place the two "eggs" in the nest, partially hidden by the fringe.
  11. Glue the rose gimp on the wings of the goose, following the outline of the wings.
  12. Slip the gold cording through the hole at the top and tie to make a looped hanger.
  13. Starting at the top, glue the jumbo rick rack to the edge, framing the entire ornament. NOTE: at the bottom, the jumbo rick rack will glue over the fringe/tassels.
  14. Enjoy!
NOTE: Use as much or as little of the trim; it's up to you. Remember, the more trimmed details, the more 3-D the figure will appear to be!
