Making Felt Gingerbread Man Ornaments

Total Time: 1-3 hours

Supplies:

• gingerbread cookie cutters
• brown felt
• small rick rack trim
• white embroidery floss
• tiny buttons
• ribbon
• sewing needle and thread

Steps:

1. Start by tracing a gingerbread cookie cutter onto the brown felt. You will need two for each ornament. Cut them out.


2. Next, stitch the two pieces together with embroidery floss using a back stitch. Go around the entire outside.


3. Next, stitch the mouth onto the gingerbread man.

4. Cut pieces of rick rack to decorate the gingerbread man with. I chose to do hair and the edges of a shirt and pants. For the gingerbread woman I did more of a dress design. NOTE: I recommend melting the edges of the rick rack with a lighter to prevent unraveling.
5. Stitch the rick rack pieces on with embroidery floss.


6. I found tiny buttons at the craft store. I used black ones for the eyes and colored ones for their clothes. For the gingerbread woman, I added a bow to her hair too.


7. Cut pieces of ribbon to make the hangers. Make a loop and stitch them to the back of the ornaments.
