Ferris Wheel Ornaments

 Facebook tatting community has be bedazzled by ornaments tatted with buttons as the main focus, thanks to Diane, the Lace-loving Librarian who kick-started it. I couldn't resist and had to join in.

Even though the main focus is buttons, I just had to try it with something different.

I have a lot of flat disks with a hole in the centre, slightly more than 2cm diameter, that I have been scratching my brain thinking of ways to use them in my tatting.  Finally, I came up with something to share. I am naming this Ferris Wheel ornament.


I found out that they are called donut beads.

Round 1

With Round 2 added

The stitch count for the ornament is given in the photo below.  Round 2 requires two shuttles.

  3. They're lovely! :-) I suppose they could work for anything flat with a hole in the middle.

    1. Yes, they would, also with buttons (especially the 4-holed type)
