Cut two or more pairs of 60 degree (equilateral) triangles, each side (equal in length) should be about 8 inches.  (Judy says she uses her pyramid triangle tool for cutting)  The fabrics should be contrasting in each pair.  You can use Christmas fabrics or any two fabrics you'd like,  Sew the triangles, right sides together, all the way around, leaving a small opening for turning.  Then turn the triangle right side out, press and blind stitch the opening closed.  You will also need to bring two buttons or charms, matching sewing thread and a needle.  (Judy used a clip earring on the front and a button on the back)  Bring the sewn triangles to the meeting where will we complete the ornaments.
