Gingerbread Ornaments

Even though the names of these evoke Christmas, surely they can be used year round. I have the brown one sitting on my adding machine for a bit of whimsy. The idea and instructions are in Fa-la-la Felt by Amanda Carestio.  The basic form is a bottle cap. The brown one was made with a water bottle cap which only went about half-way up, so is not quite as solid as the blue one made on a lotion bottle top. Great way to use up small amounts of felt. Baby rick-rack was used and the basic embroidery french knot, as well as the blanket stitch.

  1. So cute. Never too early to start thinking about Christmas! Love that it uses recycled materials.
