As a crafter, I love making things for celebrations, and that includes felt Nativity ornaments. With some basic felt shapes and a few easy stitches, you’ll have a whole set of people (and animals) from the first Christmas. They’re simple decorations that help tell the story! Each finished ornament measures about 3-1/2 inches across.
All of the ornaments follow the same basic instructions. Some have more embroidery, while some are mostly felt appliqué. Each of the 8 ornament designs (Angel, Mary, Joseph, Donkey, Shepherd, Sheep, Jesus in the Manger, and Wise Men) has its own page of instruction which includes:
- Steps for making the ornament front
- Traceable templates and embroidery guides
