So, since I am limited I love to find the perfect backing fabric or add some bling to the back of the piece that I am going to stuff.
Here is what I did for the back of my gingerbread ornament.
What tricks do you do to give your finishes that extra pop?
Happy Tuesday!

I love to see stitching on the back as you did. I never think about doing it until I see someone else's!!! This is so perfect.
Nice ornament! Very pretty! What do I do about finishing? I send it away to be finished. lol! I really need to attempt my own finishing sometime though. I know I'm capable of it, just lazy.
Sweet ornament. I do very basic finishing. But, for the more advanced finishing I send it off to a professional finisher. I'd much rather be stitching than finishing.
Lovely ornament, Chris :)
Have a great day!!
Really lovely ornament, Chris! I am sorry but I am no help on finishing ideas, I am still very challenged when it comes to that. LOL
The stitching on the back is a great idea, I use lots of vintage butons and lace, I also like beading, some of my needlerolls donot call for beads but I still add them.
Have a super duper day.

ohhh lovely flourish on the back :) I always put my name and the year on the back of things so folks will a)remember it was me that did it and b)the year it was done ....
sometimes I add beads for bling or a wee bit of pearl no32 krenink blending filament :)

What a great idea to stitch the back! I'm afraid my finishing skills are pretty limited. :)
Love it Chris!! That little button is adorable!! I always forget to finish the back too!!! I'll have to keep this in mind when I make a scissor fob!!
Hi Chris your stitching looks great, yes I like to add too,
Lace , buttons, or sparkle glue just a small touch. Hugs.
Thanks so much for your comment, I'm happy you love my free and i hope you'll stitch it and send me a pic :-)
Thanks again, hugs

Thank you Chris for inspiring me. This is just wonderful. I usually just opt for a fabric backing.

I think you have a great toolbox of finishing skills! I love what you've done with the back of this one.
