Patterns for three felted Holiday ornaments that are fun and fast. Each pattern uses 10-20 yards of felting wool, so very inexpensive to make as gifts. My daughter helped with the decorations, a very fun afternoon. Finished size is about 3 inches for the snowflake ornaments and 6 inches for the gingerbread men and trees. We purchased a grab bag of rhinestone stickers and mini decorations from the craft store for gingerbread buttons and eyes. Patterns are included for the tree garland (a short version of my Crochet Beaded Cord Button pattern) and beaded clusters as stars. The Santa gingerbread boy and girl have been very popular at local craft shows. These felt quickly, so be careful not to over-felt. We let them dry overnight and decorated the next day.
