My friends like to have tree trimming parties where we make one another ornaments. This was a quick little monster that I whipped up before heading out to the party. It is such a simple gift!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Red, Green, And White Felt
  • Thread
  • Needle
  • Stuffing
  • 2 Button(s)

Steps (13 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    First fold your felt once over and trace out your own little monster pattern.

    It can be whatever you like. I kept mine simple so that I could whip it up real quick.

  2. 2

    Cut your pattern out so that you have 2 identical pieces of felt.

  3. 3

    Take your 2 buttons and some contrasting thread and sew on two eyes.

  4. 4

    Take more contrasting thread (preferably embroidery) and sew a mouth.

  5. 5

    Take the two pattern pieces and flip them over so that the right sides are facing in.

  6. 6

    sew around the edges leaving a small space which will allow you to flip it back right side out.

  7. 7

    Turn the monster right side out and start to your stuffing

  8. 8

    Sew the stuffing opening shut.

  9. 9

    Now we must start to form the hat. Fold your red felt on the corner and cut.

  10. 10

    sew the opening

  11. 11

    Flip the hat inside out. Glue a strip of whit felt around the bottom and glue a part of stuffing on the top of the hat.

  12. 12

    Use your white felt to cut out a pair of fangs

  13. 13

    Glue fangs on, attach a string to hold ornament on the tree and you are good to go!

    A perfect gift!
