I love the folk-art look of felt ornaments, but I don’t always have the patience to carefully cut out shapes in felt. Because they are most often done with raw edges, I can’t count on bobbles and jagged bits to get hidden in a seam.
This little ornament was able to be done with a rotary cutter, solving my poor-scissor-skill problem. To give you an idea of the scale, the largest green square is 1-1/2″/about 4 cm large, and the whole tree took less than one half a piece of felt. I used this pattern, but did not have brown felt, or feel like cutting out circles for the base, so I used black squares instead.
Somewhere in my craft room is a small pack of star-shaped buttons. Sadly, it is not in one of my button tins where it belongs. If When I unearth them, I will add one to the top. I really need to get better at putting things back in their proper place right away.

I like the stacked pieces. Very nice.
I like the 3D look of it.
Too cute. Using your rotary cutter is a brilliant idea.
It is just basic laziness on my part. 😀
Hey. If it works, go with it. lol
I love this! I enjoy folk art too 🙂
We are kindred spirits.

That is so freaking cute
And ridiculously easy too
So cool! My friend felts all the time, I am going to have to share this with her
Do! It was the easier felt ornament I’ve ever made.
