Designs Used
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.
Cut out the circles and trim away excess stabilizer from the edges.
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.
Continue stitching the remaining open area.
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.
