Handmade Felt Tree Christmas Ornament
I have the cutest little felt Christmas tree ornament to share with you today. I know what you’re thinking, Christmas already, we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet. I never liked walking into stores and seeing Christmas displayed in the month of October, that is until I became a blogger. As a blogger we love to inspire and share all of our crafts and recipe’s! This means we have to be ahead of the game so you can recreate them, especially if you enjoy handmade!
I am so excited about sharing a Handmade Ornament with a group of 31 fabulous bloggers! That’s right…31 days of handmade ornament, check out all the links at the bottom of the post for more inspiration!
Supplies:
Felt red and white
Scissors
Embroidery thread
Needle
Glue gun
Nylon thread or ribbon
Directions:
Cut the felt into different sizes. I cut my squares into 2 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch and 5inch squares. 8 squares total of each size with a complete total of 32 squares; 16 red, 16 white. (Did I do that right? I feel like I’m teaching my 4th grades common core math)
Do this until all of the stacks of squares are done. Tie a knot and cut the string.
Cut a star out of the white felt and adhere it to the top of the tree with hot glue. If hanging you will also want to attach nylon string to the star using hot glue.
~Voila~
Ready to see some more awesome handmade ornaments!

I love those…so simple but yet they have an elegant appearance.
Thanks so much Rena 🙂
I am totally into red and white and Christmas… so much so that some years I’ve had Swedish-style Christmas decor. You’ve inspired me Kristin! I want to make a bunch of these sweet trees! 🙂
Thanks so much for joining in the fun here for 31 Days. {hugs}
The boys always love when I bring the “traditional” colors in for christmas 🙂
Super cute Kristin!!
Thank you Susan

XOXO
So charming and festive Kristin!
I love your ornament, Kristin. It’s going to look great on your tree with lights twinkling around it. I also love how you photographed it.
Love the red and white! Such a great idea for an ornament!

That’s so sweet. I love the simplicity of just the red and white, although this could work in any colour scheme. I have a bag full of felt scraps that are pretty small but too good to throw away – this would be great to use them up.
Ha, I’m on the same boat, my boy doesn’t like it when I don’t include lots of red on my Christmas decor. These little trees are so darling!
These red and white felt trees look fabulous. I love how you photographed the trees in the “snow”.
