Untitled Goose Ornament

“It’s a lovely day in the village, and you are a horrible goose.” That’s the simple description for this even simpler computer game where you’re a (horrible) goose, dead set on ruining the townspeople’s day with comic hi-jinks and lots and lots of honks. If that’s not worthy of an ornament I don’t know what is. If you are a fan or know someone who is it’s easy create your own felt Untitled Goose ornament complete with honk.

You will need:

4″ x 8″  felt in green, I used Cilantro *

3″ square trail colored felt,I used Oatmeal*

4″ square white felt *

Scraps of orange felt I used Orange Juice*

Black and white embroidery thread

Large Squeaker or stuffing

*matching thread

Cut:

2- circles from green felt.

1 trail from tan felt

1 goose from white felt

1 of each beak shape and 1 of each foot from orange felt.

HONK HONK HONK

Stitch trail to one of the green circles with a running stitch and matching thread.Temporarily place goose shape to figure out feet and beak placement and applique stitch orange pieces down with matching thread.

Attach goose body with an applique stitch and add eye with a single strand of black embroidery thread. Overcast stitch the circles together with an overcast stitch and matching thread. When you reach the top fold loop in half and sew into place. Stuff circles with squeaker before closing. And that’s all it takes to make a fun ornament for your favorite mischief making friend!
