    A cold penguin, a happy snowman, a yummy Christmas pudding and a cute gingerbread house. Do want these cute handmade felt decorations on your Christmas tree too? Then download the free printable templates and have fun making these felt ornaments!

    I don't follow many Christmas traditions, but one I started a few years ago is to add some handmade Christmas decorations on my tree every year. Some are from my mom, some by me. I have painted food figurines, scrapbooking ornaments and glitter baubles, pyrography wood slices, salt dough decorations and this year I will add these felt ornaments.

    It's very easy to make these Christmas ornaments, even with your kids! Make this your next weekend project and have fun with different colors, adding glitters and cute beads!

    These are the easy steps to make these felt ornaments:

    • Download the printable templates
    • Print them on A4 paper
    • Cut out all the shapes on the bottom of the page
    • Trace and cut out all the shapes from felt sheets
    • Sew the body parts together leaving a opening gap
    • Fill it with fiberfill stuffing
    • Finish sewing the body, adding the ribbon
    • Glue the details on the front

    Note: the beads on the penguin and snowman decorations, should be sewn on before you sew the body parts together, so to hide the thread. Or you can also glue them if you prefer.

    Printable Templates

    There is a free printable template for each of the 4 ornaments. Choose the one you prefer, download the .JPEG photo and print it on A4 paper.

    How to sew the Blanket Stitch

    Blanket stitch is very commonly used with felt because it's perfect to close two sides together leaving a nice ornamental stitch which you don't have to hide. This stitch was originally used (still is) as a decorative border on blankets (hence the name), to avoid sewing the hem. Felt and fleece do not fray or ravel, so they're perfect for this kind of stitch.

    The blanket stitch is really easy to do but it may take a while to get the hang of it. Once you learn the movement, you'll never stop using it!

    See below istruction video on how to sew the blanket stitch.
