felt ornaments


I went a little crazy making some fun felt ornaments this year.

I used this free pattern and tutorial-and they were so fun to embellish! Besides the smelly fabric glue headache, of course.


I used a wool felt blend-I get mine here. I added some cool trims and such I had lying around. In hindsight, I probably should have stuffed them a bit more...but that's why you have hindsight...for next time. right?

Anyways...if you make them, now you'll know...stuff them more than I did!


I packaged them up in some clear treat bags, cut out some quick tags on my new Silhouette, and tied them on with some candy cane-esque ribbon! (leftover from our stockings)

Ready to gift out to neighbors and friends! (though I think I'll keep a couple for us!)

These are beautiful, Jess! I love all of the trims. Great colors, too. My local JoAnns just started selling wool blend felt, but the colors are pretty bland. I need to order some of the good stuff:)

Love the colors you chose. The aqua just makes them pop. Well done...again!

I just LOVE these! What a great idea to give them to friends and neighbors. I really like the colors you choose as well. If only I had more time I'd make millions of these!

Beautiful! I actually think I like them just a touch stuffed, rather than more full. If I ever have the time to do all of the stuff I WANT to accomplish - it'll be heavenly. Of course, all the little ones will be grown then (small sniff) - never mind, I think it's ok to not have the time for now.

I love these!!! I wish I were your neighbor :) Did it take forever to do all the cute details??

I just finished making your Christmas card wreath and I love, love, love it!! I'm going to blog about it next week and I thought about doing a whole series of things Jess makes that I love, and want to add these, but gosh, my Christmas craft time is running out :)

I love the colors you used on these! Your felt crafting has also worn off on me as I am throwing together some felt play food at the last minute for my daughters for Christmas!
