ornaments on treeWhen I was little my mom made me a felt gingerbread ornament. I decide to make some new ones for my kids this year. They are easy to make and you can decorate them any way you want.

Total Time: 1-3 hours

Supplies:

  • gingerbread cookie cutters
  • brown felt
  • small rick rack trim
  • white embroidery floss
  • tiny buttons
  • ribbon
  • sewing needle and thread

Steps:

  1. Start by tracing a gingerbread cookie cutter onto the brown felt. You will need two for each ornament. Cut them out.
  2. trace cookie cutter
     
    cut out gingerbread men
     
  3. Next, stitch the two pieces together with embroidery floss using a back stitch. Go around the entire outside.
  4. stitch pieces together
     
    stitched gingerbread people
     
  5. Next, stitch the mouth onto the gingerbread man.
  6. stitch on mouth
     
  7. Cut pieces of rick rack to decorate the gingerbread man with. I chose to do hair and the edges of a shirt and pants. For the gingerbread woman I did more of a dress design. NOTE: I recommend melting the edges of the rick rack with a lighter to prevent unraveling.

  9. Stitch the rick rack pieces on with embroidery floss.
  10. finished rick rack
     
    sew on rick rack
     
  11. I found tiny buttons at the craft store. I used black ones for the eyes and colored ones for their clothes. For the gingerbread woman, I added a bow to her hair too.
  12. finished gingerbread ornaments
     
    bow on gingerbread woman
     
  13. Cut pieces of ribbon to make the hangers. Make a loop and stitch them to the back of the ornaments.
  14. cut ribbon for hanging
     
    sew on ribbon hanger
     
    finished gingerbread man

I had a pattern for a snowman ornament that was made out of brown felt with a gingersnap for the face and another gingersnap for the stomach area. A face was attached to the face cookie and a red ribbon bow was attached to the neck. The pattern fit store-bought ginger snaps and was a darling decoration for gifts and for a tree. If anyone has this pattern, I would really like to get a copy of it. Thanks to any who might have information about this.
