I made these a long time ago... but thought of you after i saw the beautiful pics of your home...

easy enough to do..you'll get 2 ornaments from one piece of felt from Walmart or where ever. a lot of hand sewing tho. i recommend not sewing seams until after the hand work is done. lots of scraps used,too. i think the wire piece was a 8" long, twist one end, then bend like a hanger and just twist the bottoms to hang at shoulder part...i hope that makes sense.

Those are so cute! I love the idea! I actually made hangers from wood pieces that I had left over last year along with a little piece of wire for the top part. Wish they were a little bigger. They would be perfect for this!

no i just took a piece of paper and folded it in half and drew a half shirt, then used that as my pattern... so you could make it any size. but i wanted to get at least 2 ornaments from one piece of felt.

i used fun foam too. and what ever i had for eyes. and antlers. beads would work too.

you could probably put a piece of paper up to the screen, that's about the size it really is...
the reindeer one.

GourdSilly,
I forgot about these and came across them today while looking through some saved photos.
Santa's Long Underwear. The deer in the back pocket was a small wooden cut out that I found at Michaels. I think the next set I would make that I would do less stitching...LOL
