Kid Friendly No Sew Christmas Tree Ornament
I love Christmas – I really, really do. But this year has been rough for me to get into the groove. We went on vacation over Thanksgiving and that really through me for a loop as I usually have a lot of stuff done prior to that point. Add to that both of our dogs passing away this year and I have been having a super hard time getting in the spirit. I signed up to participate in a DIY ornament swap with some other bloggers and have been dragging my feet. Well tonight – I found inspiration in Kiddie Foodies ornament found here and decided to create my own.
I decided to make an even easier version of their ornament. I even used all materials I already had in the house from previous projects. Don’t you love when you can create something else and not spend any money?? I do 🙂 I made these to send out to the other bloggers in the ornament swap but also for my kids. The material was from their Christmas outfits in 2013.
Materials Needed
- Christmas fabric
- Green felt
- Lace or ribbon to serve as hangers
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
- Two Christmas tree cookie cutters (1 large, 1 slightly smaller) – or your own pattern
- 1 permanent marker
- 1 pen
- Fabric scissors
Instructions
- Pre-heat the hot glue gun
- Trace the large cookie cutter on the green felt
- Trace the small cookie cutter on the Christmas fabric
- Cut out the large and small trees
- Place hot glue on the back of the smaller tree – start at the top and adhere the trees together
- Glue around the edges until the fabric is fully adhered to the felt
- Cut a piece of ribbon or lace (roughly 6 inches – it can be whatever size you prefer) – fold over and adhere to the back of the ornament
- Display!
Some people – myself included don’t let their small children using hot glue guns. I know others do. I think this craft would be perfect for bigger kids on their own or for smaller children under closer supervision. I love how the ornaments came out and can’t wait to get them in the mail!
