We just gave our first free tutorial, what the heck, let's do another :) I recently created a whole bunch of templates to make felt ornaments, my new favorite stuff to work with, just look at my chickens! So I am going to call this a mini tutorial, because I don't have pictures to go along with it. For starters I have uploaded the templates for you to use here and here.
I decided to make an open stocking for each of my boys so I can stuff a little candy in them :) All of the other ornaments are stuffed with regular cheap batting!HOW TO: Print off templates and cut around one template, let's say the stocking. Pin the paper to your felt and cut around (remember to double up for front and back!) Cut scraps of felt for the top, toe and heel if you want. Use a running stitch to attach each of these to the top layer of felt. You can also use fabric glue to help you on your way :) Finally, I did a blanket stitch around the entire stocking. I found this site helpful to learn the stitches, and I'm sure if you typed in any of the stitches someone would show you on video on youtube.
(I used a running stitch, back stitch, whip stitch and blanket stitch)
They make me so happy. I want to make 804 more.Let me know ANY questions you have!
(PS the owl is not an original idea of mine, it comes from a crafty magazine a few years back...I just wanted you to know I'm not that amazing. Oh, and I'd add some googlie eyes to him.)
PS We added this to AmyLouWho's Sew and Tell Friday's.

These would make a great project for my kids. Then they could use them to decorate their own trees. Thanks for the idea, the are too cute!
Oh, so sweet! My mom also made a whole bunch of similar felt ornaments. I think they were her first tree ornaments after she was married, but I remember them in later years, when she used to string them up all around our kitchen at Christmas time. Good memories... I wonder what she ever did with those??
Thanks for sharing! :o)
