What You’ll Need
- Felt in red, green, white, and other colours of your choice
- Scissors
- Needle and embroidery thread
- A little stuffing or cotton filling
- Buttons, pom-poms, or other decorations
- Ribbon or twine for hanging
- Paper and a pencil to make your shapes
How to Make Your Ornaments
Step 1: Cut out your shapes
Draw simple shapes on paper, such as stars, hearts, Christmas trees, or snowmen. Use these as templates to cut two matching pieces of felt for each ornament.
Step 2: Sew around the edges
Place the two felt shapes together and sew around the edges using a simple running stitch or blanket stitch. Leave a small opening for stuffing.
Step 3: Decorate your ornaments
Add buttons, little felt circles, embroidery, or pom-poms to give each ornament its own personality. This is where you can get creative!
Step 4: Add a little stuffing
Gently fill your ornament with a small amount of stuffing to give it some dimension. Finish sewing the opening closed.
Step 5: Attach a hanging loop
Sew a small loop of ribbon or twine to the top of each ornament. Your handmade decorations are now ready to hang on the Christmas tree!
Try making a matching set of ornaments or mixing different shapes and colours for a playful look. You could also personalize them with initials, the year, or little details that make them meaningful to your family.
These ornaments are a lovely way to create something special without spending a lot on holiday decorations.
A little handmade Christmas magic goes a long way!
