Another No Sew Christmas Project -- Easy Felt Snowflake Ornament

Here is another fun, easy and inexpensive no-sew Christmas project that even the most craft-challenged person can make beautifully.

The supplies are very few and can be purchased at your favorite local craft store like Michael's or AC Moore for literally pennies.

All you need to purchase, or find in your stash if you have them, are a piece of white soft felt and a piece of colored eazy felt which is felt that has been stiffened. All other supplies you will probably already have at home.


Inspired by Kristin's recent paper snowflake project over at Craft Leftovers, I got out my paper and scissors and started cutting. I had almost forgotten how fun it is to fold up paper and cut pieces at random from the edges, then unfold a masterpiece. So anyway, that's what you need to do to start. You can follow Kristin's designs, or do what I did and just wing it.


Then I pinned my paper snowflake onto my piece of white soft felt so it wouldn't move.


Using a super fine Sharpie, I traced around the snowflake and all the little cut out sections.


Using my very sharpest little scissors, I cut out the shape of the snowflake and all the little openings on the inside until I had a felt snowflake that looked just like my paper snowflake. Then I glued it onto the colored eazy felt using tiny dots of white glue at the tips and evenly spaced throughout the snowflake.


After cutting around the outside of the snowflake leaving a little of the blue around the edge, I threaded some gold metallic sewing thread through one of the points for a hanger.

These would be nice ornaments for your tree or to hang in windows. They would make pretty little gift tags too. You could let your children cut out paper snowflakes in their own unique designs and then use that as a pattern to turn their artwork into a nice little teacher gift or a very thoughtful gift for special friends or grandparents. Another way to use them would be to hang them from a wide ribbon like a banner or bunting over a doorway or mantle. The possibilities are endless. Be creative!
