Felt Animal Ornaments

For Christmas I made a lot of felt animal ornaments. It all started with an owl.




First I gathered different colored felt, coordinating thread, and plastic bags. I drew out a template and cut it out. Then I cut out the felt to match my template.

















I sewed on the eyes first.


















I added some details to the owl with thread (the feathers on the belly). Then I sewed together the rest of the front of the owl.


















Then I sewed a piece of ribbon onto the back piece of the owl.











Then I sewed the two pieces together, leaving a hole in the bottom for stuffing it.



































Then I stuffed the owl with cut up plastic bags and sewed the hole shut. Then I had a cute little ornament for a friend who loves owls.




















I used this same method to make lots of
ornaments for family and friends.











Use your imagination and create all kinds of different animals or objects for people you know!  -Kristen
