Christmas Yubinuki 2018

In 2018, my spouse and I went to Colorado for Christmas to spend it with his family. His entire family. Because there were so  many people, it was impractical to try and buy for everyone let alone transport everything 1,000 miles, so I decided to make gifts for all the ladies.

I decided on Yubinuki and matching cases.

You may not have seen one of my test-pages at the start of the blog, but it was about this craft. Here. Check it out.

Moving on now that you know a little about it... There were nine ladies there, so that means nine rings (wait, are these Nazgul?!) and nine cases. Here are the rings.

They were secured inside their cases with a necklace cord (because not everyone needs a thimble, and these make adorable little beads)

Now, what's this about cases? These little things have been called all sorts of things. I refer to them as "pips" or "cases."

Have fun matching up which one went with which thimble!

I also wanted to make one for my mom. Hers didn't match because she loves pumpkins and the color pink too much to decide between either.
