Description

My friends like to have tree trimming parties where we make one another ornaments. This was a quick little monster that I whipped up before heading out to the party. It is such a simple gift!

Instructions

  1. Small tutorials 047 1261267874

    First fold your felt once over and trace out your own little monster pattern. It can be whatever you like. I kept mine simple so that I could whip it up real quick.

  2. Small tutorials 048 1261267899

    Cut your pattern out so that you have 2 identical pieces of felt.

  3. Small tutorials 050 1261268040

    Take your 2 buttons and some contrasting thread and sew on two eyes.

  4. Small tutorials 051 1261268362

    Take more contrasting thread (preferably embroidery) and sew a mouth.

  5. Small tutorials 054 1261268526

    Take the two pattern pieces and flip them over so that the right sides are facing in.

  6. Small tutorials 056 1261268681

    sew around the edges leaving a small space which will allow you to flip it back right side out.

  7. Small tutorials 059 1261268954

    Turn the monster right side out and start to your stuffing

  8. Small tutorials 060 1261269169

    Sew the stuffing opening shut.

  9. Small tutorials 063 1261270066

    Now we must start to form the hat. Fold your red felt on the corner and cut.

  10. Small tutorials 064 1261270407

    sew the opening

  11. Small tutorials 065 1261270486

    Flip the hat inside out. Glue a strip of whit felt around the bottom and glue a part of stuffing on the top of the hat.

  12. Small tutorials 062 1261270659

    Use your white felt to cut out a pair of fangs

  13. Small tutorials 069 1261270789

    Glue fangs on, attach a string to hold ornament on the tree and you are good to go! A perfect gift!
