    • 4 pieces Wool blend Felt- gingerbread color brown for the tree trunk, white, red, green (2 shades), yellow
    • Embroidery thread to match the felt
    • Twine or ribbon for hanging
    • Stuffing – just a small amount
    • 1 sheet Freezer paper I like these printable sheets, but you can trace the pattern onto regular freezer paper as well.

    Instructions
     

    Prepare the Pattern Pieces

    • Print or trace the pattern pieces onto the paper side of the freezer paper.
      Supplies for Felt Gingerbread House ornaments
    • Cut out the pattern pieces with a slight margin around each one.
    • Use an iron set to medium heat with no steam to fuse the pattern pieces to the felt.
    • Cut out the pattern pieces on the lines. Layout the pieces as desired.

    Embellish the Ornament with Embroidery Stitches

    • Now comes the fun part. You can keep it simple and glue the pieces down in place, or you can use a single strand of coordinating floss to whip stitch the pieces down.
    • Finally, you can use three strands of floss to embellish and attach the pieces in place.

    Finish the Ornament

    • Once the front is all stitched down and embellished it’s time to assemble the ornament. Lay the front on top of the back. Use a whip stitch or a blanket stitch to sew around the outside of the ornament.
    • When you get to the peak of the roof, attach a loop of twine or ribbon for a hangar.
    • When there are just 2 or 3 inches left open, add the stuffing to give the ornament some depth.
    • Then finish stitching the ornament closed.

    Hi! My name is Amy Chappell and I blog over at Ameroonie Designs. I currently live in Wyoming with my husband and 6 kids. I love being a mom but needed an outlet that would give me something to do that stayed done, enter sewing and creating. Love the satisfaction of taking fabric and ideas and making something new. I also love that blogging has given me a way to meet new people and find a community of amazing people who love fabric and sewing as much as I do.
