Simple yet amazing! Handmade Christmas decorations made with felt (31–40)
Half-moon wreath
Why not try handcrafting your Christmas decorations using cozy felt? Display a handmade Christmas wreath that brightens up the season and set the mood for the holidays.
Feel free to use any felt colors you like.
You’ll make classic Christmas elements such as poinsettias and holly out of felt.
Choose a chic palette or go colorful—whatever you prefer.
Arrange the felt flowers and holly evenly along the lower half of a hoop and secure them with wire to complete a stylish Christmas wreath.
Try hanging it on a wall or door.
Christmas bell made of felt
This bell ornament features a charmingly soft look thanks to felt.
By making a hole inside the bell shape and placing a jingle bell there, you can also enjoy the sound—one of its key points.
Sandwich the thread attached to the jingle bell between two bell-shaped pieces of felt and glue them together.
Then decorate the bell with a ribbon or similar accents, and layer thinly cut strips of felt at the bottom to give it a three-dimensional finish.
If you match the colors of the jingle bell and the felt bell, you’ll get a cohesive look; if you change the colors, you can make the jingle bell stand out.
It’s fun to try a variety of color combinations.
Felt Santa dress
If you use large felt sheets from the 100-yen store, you can make a child-sized Santa dress! Start with a sleeveless dress as the base and add the sleeves afterward.
It’s best to sew on the Santa belt and neckline decorations to the front bodice in advance.
You can freely adjust the design—long or short sleeves, sleeveless—according to your child’s size and preferences.
Felt is easy to work with but doesn’t stretch, so it might not be the most comfortable to wear.
Still, it will definitely look adorable as a handmade Christmas costume for kids, so give it a try!
Felt wreath
This is a cute mini wreath with a soft felt texture.
First, shape the wire into a circle and wrap it with green felt.
Next, use a hot glue gun to attach a bell charm and a hanging string to the top center.
Cut out lots of felt leaves—the stars of the show—and glue them onto the base, layering them to add volume, and you’re done! To give the wreath a rounded, plump look, keep an eye on the overall balance as you glue.
Be careful not to let the number of leaves become uneven in any area.
Christmas donut ornament
This is a round, donut-shaped motif decorated with Christmas-inspired colors and ornaments.
First, cut felt into a round shape with a hole in the center, then layer decorative pieces on top and sew them in place.
Next, sew it together with another round base that also has layered decorations, add stuffing to give it overall roundness, and you’re done.
To avoid visible seams between the front and back layered decorations, it’s best to overlay pieces cut slightly larger than the base.
Make sure to express your originality through your choice of colors and how you arrange the decorations.

Reindeer ball ornament
A reindeer ball ornament that gives a gentle impression, making the most of the soft felt fabric.
Use a compass and ruler to cut out templates for the ball and antlers.
Next, cut brown felt to match the templates.
Fold each piece in half and glue it with a hot glue gun to create a three-dimensional ball shape.
Attach the antlers on both sides, then glue on a string and a bell to finish the item.
You can have fun customizing it by changing the fabric color or antler shape.
How about making a reindeer that will shine in your Christmas decorations?
Reindeer Ornament
A reindeer ornament perfect for Christmas displays and decorations.
It’s easy to make by simply cutting and gluing felt fabric, so it’s a great project even for beginners.
First, fold a round-cut piece of thick paper and secure it with tape.
Next, cut the fabric to match a half-circle template and adhere it to the paper.
Make Santa’s hat with red and white fabric and attach it, then create the reindeer’s face with ear, antler, and eye pieces.
Finally, add a bell and a string to complete the ornament.
Try customizing the felt colors and facial expression for extra fun!
