You know the Shtick…25 days 25 felt Christmas crafts and away we go!
Our home hasn’t seen a glass ornament..well ever I think.
Between kids and pets we know we would be tempting fate and I’d like to leave this world with all the toes I brought into it.
Still I can’t help but long for some beautiful handblown glass pieces. Of course when the time comes that it’s safe to start my collection I am sure that even the most intricate and beautiful piece won’t compare to the kindergarten Popsicle stick ornaments and glitter covered hand prints strung with thick red yarn.
I think these felt bulb ornaments are a reasonable compromise. Kid safe and gorgeous!
You will need (per ornament)
- 9×12-inch piece each of wool felt: two colors
- Quick-setting gel glue
- Freezer paper or try Andie’s method for cutting felt shapes
- String
- 1/4-inch-diameter bead: coordinating color
