Ornament Idea

Recommended Posts

As I was wandering around the aisles of the craft store this evening, and finding all of the rows of christmas stuff to be just a bit too early, I thought of a project I did last year that I wanted to share with you. 

I made these ornaments after seeing a similar set at Target. It is a semi-simple snowflake cut from baltic birch plywood attached to a piece of felt. These ornaments really stand out from the other ornaments and were well received by the people I gave them out to. It is also a nice way to get some color, with out covering up the wood. 

 

I wanted to share this idea with you in case any of you were looking for new christmas craft fair ideas. I am also planing on doing a pumpkin of some sort with orange felt for halloween gifts for my students.

Felt is the sweater type stuff that doesn't un-ravel at all. Historically felt is made by matting wool fibers after they are weaved, however I used craft felt and I don't think there is any wool in it.

 

I got some pumpkins done tonight before my finger started bugging me again. The pumpkin by itself is a little boring, it needed something (paint, glitter, more cuts) to make it feel like something. Adding the felt to the back gave it a nice pop (in my opinion) and I am fairly confident that when I give them to my kids at school for halloween they won't ask "where's the candy?"

I like the way the felt gives the ornaments color without having to paint any of  them. Do you glue the wood on both sides of the felt? I hope to keep this idea in mind for future items. I think I am a pretty booked up for the rest of the year, right now, but I will use this idea in the future, I am sure. Thanks for taking the time to share your work and ideas.
