Try This – 3-D Felt Ornament
.
December’s “Try This” posts will be all about Christmas…fun little crafts I’d like to try. I saw this ornament in the Better Homes & Gardens Holiday Crafts 2011 magazine.
Cut a piece of felt 1-1/2″ x 4-1/2″.
Roll the piece of felt into a cylinder and glue.
Trace the ornament shape on the felt and cut out 12 pieces.
Why I only photographed 9 pieces is a mystery. Glue the straight edge of the pieces to the cylinder. Thread yarn through a bead and glue it on top of the ornament.
To see the ornament in two colors of felt, check out Felt 3-D Christmas Ornament on the Better Homes & Gardens website.
Daily Inspiration
I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.

Really like the felt bauble and if I drop it, it won’t break:)
The ornament is adorable!
Very nice…seems kind of complicated (for an idiot like Mum)!! Deccy x
In my younger day I made some of those ornaments too–the – 3 -d’s felt ones.. That is when I could cut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today I can’t cut out things — open a can,, write a letter in long hand….. I worn out my hands…….
yes the kittens play non stop for hours and make the biggest messes just having a ball!! For them life is so good!!!
Felt – mmm, can I chew on it? It would feel nice in my mouth, I think. Freedom, Casper and Nikki, do you ever get to chew on these things? Or Twinkie? I think my Cats would like it too!
Wait, WHAT? It’s just for the people? Why do the people get all the cool stuff?
Oh, hey, I’m here because we got your Christmas card today. You’re all at the BEACH! I love the Beach. No wonder you’re smiling, happy Dogs!
Thanks so much for the card, we love it!

That’s a great idea! My mom always made the most wonderful ornaments; I am hard-pressed even to drag up Florian’s little plug-in Christmas tree from the basement and plug it in! But you’ve inspired me; I’ll go get it now 🙂
Oh wow! I love that! It’s almost easy enough that I could have the kids at school make it.
Do you think you could do something like this? http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=504545049579759&set=a.499630280071236.139262.141561032544831&type=1&theater
