The funnest thing I did this week was making felt ornaments. They are: Gingerbread Man, Heart, Tree, & Snowman. Here's how you make them:
- trace outline on two pieces of felt (pen works best)
- cut out design
- sew together 3/4 of the way
- stuff with fiberfill
- sew the rest of the way
- decorate it (see tips below)
- add thread at the top for hanging
Tips for decorating: sequins work great for heart & tree; glitter for gingerbread man; red piece of felt for scarf, orange piece for nose.
I won't do this next week, 'cause that's Christmas week!

Wow, this is a great idea for ornaments. Thank You for sharing it with us!!! Maybe I will try it with my boys. They tried sewing a button for the first time a little while back. I think they are ready to make a couple of stiches so this will be a great project!! Oh, yea I love your blog, it looks great!! Merry Christmas, Angie in GA
Oh, that is so cute!!! When we go to visit "grandma", there are a lot of kids that come to my mom's house and I like to take crafts to do. This is a GREAT one! I hope I can do it with them. Thanks for sharing!
