Molly and Laura's Felt Christmas Ornaments

Twinkling lights on park trees and glass balls hung in shop windows, little by little it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in New York City! I know some people can be a bit Grinch-y about the commercialism of the holiday season, but it’s hard to resist the special feeling of Christmas in the city. It’s contagious!

Inspired by this burgeoning holiday cheer, we’re starting to feather our holiday nests with these lovely felt ornaments. Laura designed an elegant 3-dimensional Felt Star that will look equally beautiful hung from a doorway or perched atop a tree. And Molly designed a set of graceful Felt Snow Ball Ornaments that will add a playful Christmas feeling to your tree or mantle.

Felt is our favorite ornament-making material because it’s soft, natural, and so easy. And we think Ecru is especially lovely because it feels peaceful, classic, and reminiscent of a fresh blanket of snow. To add a little holiday sparkle we accented our ornaments with the beautiful new DMC metallic thread.

All the how-to’s for Laura’s Felt Star Pendant and Tree Topper are right here, and Molly’s step-by-steps for her Felt Snow Ball Ornaments are here. Make both! And merry Christmas!

These are beautiful. You all are so creative. The balls look easy enough for me to try with my kids for our annual holiday craft day. Thanks for the inspiration.
