Simple yet amazing! Handmade Christmas decorations made with felt

Felt gingerbread house

A cute felt “Gingerbread House” accessory case and ornaments [Christmas decorations] | DIY Felt Gingerbread House Ornaments Making

Some of you might be wondering, “What’s a gingerbread house?” In short, it’s a little house made out of gingerbread cookies.

In Germany, it’s called a Hexenhaus.

The powdered sugar that looks like snow makes it perfect for the Christmas season.

If you’re making it flat, it’s surprisingly simple—just cut the house shape out of felt.

Building a three-dimensional house, however, requires more parts and some time for the glue to set, so it may take a bit of patience! If you’re confident with your hands, give it a try!

In the 16th century, the plague spread widely in England.

It was around then that ginger cookies became popular, and it’s said their shape was made to resemble Henry VIII.

Nowadays, they’re a treat we often see during the Christmas season.

Why not try making gingerbread man decorations out of felt? You won’t need needles or thread, so even small children can make them easily.

Make lots and decorate your Christmas tree!

Mickey is a character loved all over the world.

If you make a Mickey-shaped ornament, it will surely delight anyone who sees it on display.

Use a compass to create a template for the circular shapes of Mickey’s face and ears before you start.

Prepare two pieces of felt cut into Mickey’s silhouette, and sew them together while stuffing them with batting.

That alone makes a cute piece, but let’s add some extra flair.

Place a piece of white felt, cut in a wavy pattern, over the top of Mickey’s head.

It can look like snow, or like icing on a sweet treat.

Try adding beads to the white felt and get creative!
