You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 sheet green Felt
  • 1 sheet red Felt
  • wooden Curtain Ring
  • Tacky Glue
  • Sewing Equipment
  • Embellishment(s)

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut 3 pieces of green felt, 1-1/2" wide and the length of the sheet. Fold each strip in half and sew, or glue together, along unfolded edge. Then make 1/2" cuts every 1/8" along folded edge. (See pic.)

  2. 2

    Glue one end of a strip to the ring and begin wrapping, hiding glued edge under cut edge as you go around. Continue with more strips until entire ring is fully covered.

  3. 3

    Now, cut two J's and Y's from red felt. Sew around outer edge, and lightly stuff both letters.

  4. 4

    Finally, glue each letter to sides of ring and add your chosen embellishments.

    I think this is a really adorable ornament. Very easy, and sure to be a big hit.
