Stuffed Ornament

Stuffed Ornament

Supplies & Materials:

- Small amount of stuffing

- Needle threaded with metallic thread.

- 12" to 14" of narrow ribbon


The designs used in this tutorial include:

- Christmas Bear Front

-ย Christmas Bear Back

Sew out front and back designs on fabric of your choice. We used brown felt with a medium-weight cut-away stabilizer.


Using a template, trace a circle around the designs.

Two pieces of fabric each embroidered with a teddy bear wearing a Santa hat. One bear holds a blue gift box; the other holds candy canes. White background.

Cut out the circles and trim away excess stabilizer from the edges.

Two circular fabric ornaments each featuring a stitched bear holding blue and pink shoes, finished with embroidered details on white and beige backgrounds.

Stack the pieces, wrong sides together, and stitch around the edge. We used a blanket stitch. Make sure that the designs are oriented correctly to each other and both the design tops are in the same place.

Stop stitching about 3/4 of the way around and your needle in the down position. This will hold your spot in the stitching and allow you to insert the stuffing into the ornament.


Stuff the ornament.

Thread a hand sewing needle with metallic thread and pull the thread through the top of the ornament for the hanger. Tie ends together.


Add embellishment, like ribbon, sequins, or beads if desired.
