How to make an 3D Felt Ornament
remember… stiff felt is the key. Also, depending on your cutting mat you may need painters tape to help keep the felt in place and/or an extra high tack mat like I used.
For a flat ornament cut two of the design. For a 3D shape cut four of the design.
You can make a simple felt ornament by just gluing two shapes together… simple and beautiful.
To make the 3D shape take your four felt pieces. Put glue on half of one piece and then glue another piece to that half. Glue the other half to a third piece. Add a string for hanger.
{See the video in this post for this in action}
Now open up the three pieces that are all half glued together and glue the fourth piece each to half of the other. Add glue to any parts that aren’t secure and them open up to reveal the 3D shape. You may have to fold and press to get it right. I love the final look! Make lots in your favorite Christmas colors.
