My favorite Christmas ornament has always been a tiny walnut baby we've had as long as I can remember. This year I decided to recreate this teensy treasure... and I couldn't stop at just one. Now there's a walnut baby play date on my tree!

Carefully split open the walnut. Ideally, you'll have 2 perfect halves. Scrape out the inside of the nut.
Cut one half of the walnut in half. This can be tricky as there's no easy way to get a straight cut.
Hot glue some ric rac to the cut edge of the quarter shell.
Hot glue a small square of fabric to one side of the inside of the half shell.
Hot glue the other side of the fabric to the other side of the inside of the shell.
Stuff some polyfil or a cotton ball under the fabric.
Draw a face on a wooden bead and glue it onto the cotton and fabric.
Hot glue the 2 shell pieces together.
Hot glue small wooden beads onto a piece of the toothpick and hot glue onto the bottom of the shell.
Hot glue a piece of embroidery floss to the front and back of the shell.
Hang on your tree and cherish forever!
