The smocked fabric wraps around the outside edge. The same design smocked with metalic threads repeats on the other side. I needle wove spider webs to cover the raw edges where the fabric is gathered. A fine fuzzy yarn that sparkles is couched to the outside of the circle to reflect a halo of light.

More Circle Smocking
I had smocked this ornament on crystalline fabric many years ago. It was mounted on a 3" plastic canvas disc and the center was raw edged. A couple of weeks ago I finished it as a gift for a young woman I've been making an ornament for every year since I met her.
