How to make a Felt Elf Ornament

List of Supplies:

Felt fabric
Thread and needle
Ribbon
Pencil or pen – for tracing the template
Pink highlighter pen
Scissors
Cotton
Template

Download and print out the elf template. Cut out all of the pattern pieces.

Trace the template patterns on the selected felt fabrics and cut them out nicely.

Take the head cut out and stitch the eye cut outs onto the face.

Also stitch the lips of the elf using black thread (or any colored thread you prefer).

Stitch the two inner ear cut outs on the ears.

I also used pink highlighter pen to add blush patterns on both cheeks of the elf.

Grab all the cut outs and place them on your craft surface.

Lay the base cut out on a flat surface and place the head cut out on its place on the elf base.

Place the hat and the shirt cut outs on the base, overlapping the head.

Also place the belt and hat border cut outs on their places on the elf.

Remove the shirt piece from the base, with the belt pieces still on the shirt. Stitch the belt to the shirt by stitching an “x” in the middle of the belt buckle.

Pick up the elf’s head, with the hat and hat border on top of the head. Stitch the hat to the head by stitching a line through the hat border, the hat, and the head.
