Red Felt Stocking Tree Ornaments
If you saw my picture yesterday then aleady know what I’m going to post about today. I found a huge bundel of felt shets from the local thrift shop and had to buy them. So when my oldest son last night began asking for something to cut and glue I knew just what to pull out.
It started with a basic sketch of a stocking on a small piece of paper. Using that I cut out several small stocking shapes from the red felt.
Once the stockings were cut we glued on small rectangles of white felt to the tops to create the perfect stocking look. Then red/green/gold cord and small pieces of felt of various colors was cut and glued on. I started off using regular white glue but switched to rubber cement to hold all the pieces on. Once they were dry I wrapped a piece of red pipe cleaner into a loop and glued it to the back. We made one for each grandparent and an aunt to hang up on their trees.
It was a really quick and simple craft to make. Felt pieces are very inexpensive to buy, even buying new sheets at the store. Cutting out the stocking shapes was probably the hardest part of the entire thing, and that only took a few minutes. This could be a cute and simple last minute craft to do with your kids.
