Easy felt Christmas tree ornaments pack

Genius idea for how to make quick and easy felt ornaments for the tree. These come in 2 sizes, mini and regular. Great for kids.

I'm in love with this felt Christmas Tree! Too cute and you should see the ornaments too!To accompany the Felt Christmas Tree I shared with you yesterday, today the easiest set of felt tree ornaments ever!  It's totally cheating and the minimum of effort, but they make great mini felt ornaments which are a perfect size for your felt tree, and totally toddler safe too.

Each of these mini ornaments is just 2 inches tall and you don't need to collect lots of colors of felt or cut out lots of teeny tiny felt shapes to make them.  Let me show you how to create a whole bunch of ‘cheater' felt ornaments for your toddler's tree.

Materials:

  • White felt
  • An iron
  • Some string, cord or very thin ribbon
  • An inkjet printer
  • Iron-on transfer paper
  • The So Sew Easy felt ornaments pack
  • Optional – Polyfill

Have you ever used this iron-on transfer paper before?  It's genius!  I used it in a previous project, the toddlers dry erase coloring place mat and it was then that I got the idea for how to make some easy felt ornaments for toddlers too.

How to make the easiest ever felt Christmas tree ornaments

Decide which of the sets of ornaments you would like to make.  There are 4 sets to choose from:

  • Nativity
  • Christmas characters
  • Retro ornaments
  • Patchwork Christmas

Bright Christmas ornaments to make out of felt.  Genius idea - iron on the design, cut out, stuff and hang!  Mini and full size.

Open up your pack of the Iron On Transfer Paper.  I've used both the Avery and the Epson versions and they both work the same way.  Read the instructions carefully and follow them for the best results!  Don't leave it to cool too long before removing the backing paper.

Print the sheet you want to work with onto the transfer paper.  I found it easiest to cut up the design and fuse each one individually rather than try to do the whole sheet at once, so cut small squares of your white felt.

Iron the design onto the felt then peel off the backing paper.  Cut around your design leaving a small margin.  Place another piece of felt underneath and cut around so it's the same size and shape as the decorated piece.

Thread your needle with 2 or 3 strands of white embroidery floss.  Join the two pieces of felt with a small blanket stitch around the edge or a simple line of running stitches.  At the top, add in a small cord or string to hang and make sure to catch it with your stitches.

Great for kids.If you like, leave a small gap and fill lightly with some Polyfill to give the ornaments a bit of dimension – or leave them flat.  It's up to you.  Finish sewing all the way round and then repeat for the next one.

This is so cool & will make for some cute toys, fun if filled w/ crinkly plastic and/or small squeaky things & given to a baby or toddler for Christmas!! Maybe it would steer them away from the tree?!!

What a great idea, it looks so simple! I like to use fabric markers for felt, but have never used transfer paper before! Will try!
