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.

here's a reindeer one too.


i also did a penguin, thought there was one more, but cant think what it was...

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!

Melinda, are they ever cute. Is there a pattern available for them. TFS Liz

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.

Really cute and something to do to pass the time watching tv. TFS

How adorable! Thanks for showing the pictures!

They are adorable and I love both little shirts. TFS

These ornaments are just so dang cute! I love your blanket stitching..it looks perfect.
I love working with craft felt it is so inexpensive and user friendly.
I am going to save your photos for inspiration.
Thank you :0)

Cute! I'll have to remember this in July...hope I start that early for Christmas.

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
