Sew these easy Christmas ornaments and add a handmade touch to your holiday decor.
The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative, and nothing beats the joy of adding handmade items to your celebrations. Whether you're decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, or setting a festive table, these handmade Christmas ornaments add a personal touch to the festivities.
Why Make Your Own Ornaments?
Handmade Christmas ornaments are a wonderful way to personalise your holiday decor and create memories that last for years to come. When you make your own, you can customise the colours, prints, and designs to match your holiday theme, or even create them as gifts for family and friends. Plus, sewing these felt ornaments is a relaxing and enjoyable craft project, perfect for getting into the festive spirit.
The pattern includes six different ornament designs: a stocking, bauble, gingerbread man, tree, star, and heart. Each ornament is made from felt with a Christmas-print fabric on the front and padded with polyester fibre fill, giving them a soft and padded feel. These ornaments are not only perfect for your tree, but they can also be used in a variety of other creative ways.
Perfect for Decorating Your Tree
Of course, one of the most traditional uses for these felt ornaments is to hang them on your Christmas tree. Their soft, handmade look adds a cosy, personal touch to your decorations. Whether you’re going for a classic red-and-green theme or something a little more modern, these ornaments can be customised to match. And because they’re padded, they stand out beautifully on the branches, giving your tree a luxurious look.
Gift Toppers with a Personal Touch
Looking to add a little something extra to your Christmas gifts? These felt ornaments make perfect gift toppers! Simply tie one onto a wrapped present with ribbon, and the recipient gets a two-in-one surprise: a beautifully wrapped gift and a handmade keepsake that they can treasure for years to come. It’s a simple way to personalise your gifts and show your loved ones you’ve put thought and care into every detail.
Festive Table Settings
Another fun use for these ornaments is to incorporate them into your holiday table decor. You can use them as a unique twist on serviette rings—just loop the ornament’s hanger around a folded serviette (napkin) and place it on each plate. This adds a special touch to your table settings and helps tie in your handmade holiday theme throughout the home. It’s a small but impactful detail that will make your festive gatherings feel even more special.
Stocking Stuffers or Advent Calendar Surprises
These ornaments are also the perfect size to tuck into a stocking or include as part of an advent calendar. If you’re looking for a handmade surprise to add to your holiday traditions, these ornaments are a great option. Whether as part of an advent countdown or a small stocking filler, they’re sure to delight anyone who loves a handmade gift.
