Description

Here's a fun, fairly easy to make felt holiday ornament. You can adjust the size, vary the embellishments, add glitter...what ever you like.

Instructions

  1. Small joycuts

    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. Small joyring

    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. Small joyletters

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

  4. Small final

    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.
