Choose High-Quality Felt
Selecting premium felt material is crucial for creating durable and visually appealing ornaments. High-quality felt is less likely to fray, holds its shape better, and offers a richer color palette. This will ensure your ornaments look professional and last through multiple holiday seasons.
Use Sharp Scissors
Sharp scissors are essential for cutting clean, precise shapes out of felt. Dull scissors can cause jagged edges and uneven cuts, making your ornaments look messy. Consider investing in a pair of fabric scissors and reserving them solely for your felt projects to maintain their sharpness.
Design Templates
Create or download templates for your ornament shapes. Templates ensure consistency and accuracy, especially when making multiple ornaments of the same design. Trace the templates onto your felt with a fabric marker or chalk, which can easily be brushed off or hidden.

What materials do I need to make felt Christmas ornaments?
You will need felt sheets in various colors, scissors, fabric glue or a hot glue gun, embroidery thread, sewing needles, stuffing material (like cotton or polyester fiberfill), and optional embellishments such as beads, sequins, and ribbons.
How do I create patterns for the ornaments?
You can draw your own patterns on paper and cut them out, or find free printable templates online. Trace the patterns onto the felt sheets and cut them out with scissors.
How do I sew the felt pieces together?
Use embroidery thread and a sewing needle to stitch the pieces together. A basic running stitch or blanket stitch works well. Make sure to leave a small opening for stuffing.
What type of glue should I use for felt ornaments?
Fabric glue or a hot glue gun works best for felt. Fabric glue is easier to use for detailed work, while a hot glue gun provides a stronger hold for heavier embellishments.
How do I create a hanging loop for the ornaments?
Cut a small piece of ribbon or embroidery thread and fold it into a loop. Attach the ends to the top of the ornament using glue or by sewing them securely in place.
