Making a Felt Gingerbread House Ornament

Supplies:

• felt
• cardboard (food packaging)
• scissors
• embroidery floss
• needle

Steps:

1. Draw the outline of a house, including chimney onto thin cardboard. Then create templates for the accent pieces (i.e. door, roof, and windows).

 
2. Stick the templates to the felt using rolls of tape. Cut out the shapes. Then layer them and use coordinating embroidery floss to sew each piece onto the house. NOTE: The icicles are created by stitching different lengths of floss. The doorknob is a French knot.
3. If you want to use these as traditional ornaments you will need to attach a loop of ribbon to the top for hanging them. Have fun!
