I love involving my children with Christmas projects this time of year, especially when they are on school vacation. Without keeping their hands busy, they get bored easily. This year our favorite craft is making Christmas tree ornaments with felt and embellishments.

Felt Christmas Tree Ornaments are fun for kids as young as 4 years old, all the way to adults.  I must admit that I’ve dusted off my embroidery needles to make several of my own Christmas tree ornament creations!  These felt ornaments are the perfect first sewing project for kids.

Younger children can sew buttons and beads on the front of the Christmas tree, and let Mom help sew the pieces together.  If you have really young kids who want to be involved, let them glue on the embellishments with fabric glue.  But, you will be surprised how well young children can sew with a little help!  A few wrong stitches, knots in the thread, or loops on the front of the ornament only add to the character of each ornament!

Now, gather some supplies and make Christmas memories AND cute ornaments with your kids!

Sew decorations on one of the triangles.

Cut a small brown rectangle for the tree trunk, and sandwich it between the two green triangles.  If the child has little sewing experience, make a little stitch to hold the trunk in place.

Cut a 5 inch piece of ribbon.

Starting on one edge sew the triangles and trunk together, leaving an opening along one side about 1.5 inches long.  When you get to the top point of the triangles, fold the ribbon in half, making a hanging loop and sandwich it between the points of the two triangles.  Sew through both triangles and the ribbon.

Stuff the tree through the 1.5 inch opening, and then stitch the opening shut.

      Thank you SO much for this tutorial 🙂 I love the look of felt ornaments, but I keep forgetting to actually make them. Pinning this and buying supplies this weekend. They will be great soft ornaments for my daughter to hang on the tree we plan to put in her room for Christmas next year.
