Unbreakable Ornaments!
Felt Wreath Ornament
Letter of the week is on hold while we focus an amazing amount of energy on my favorite them for crafts, Christmas! So each Monday instead of our regular old letter of the week we will be doing a series of unbreakable ornament crafts. I know I need more and more unbreakable ornaments as my son keeps growing but is still too curious for his own good. There is no reason to leave your tree only half decorated anymore.
- Gather your materials. You will need some red, green and white felt ( mine was scrap), some beading wire, a large needle, pinking sheers, and some fun ribbon.
- Start by cutting your felt into rough squares.
- Thread your wire through your needle.
- Thread the felt onto the wire , making a pattern.
- When it’s all threaded on take the ends and tie in a tight knot. Snip the ends.
- Add some fun ribbon and hang it up- on the low branches, because it’s unbreakable !

Thank you for sharing this great idea. We’ll be able to use the extra fleece from our Christmas stockings (once I have those finished). Happy holidays!
What a cute idea — but then, you always have the cutest ideas!

I have some felt that I was planning to make ornaments with, but I needed ideas. This one is a winner, for sure!

What a great idea! My son (27 months) is also very curious about the tree and all of our very breakable ornaments. It would be so nice to have some handmade unbreakable things for the bottom half of the tree!

What a wonderful craft.

Thanks for the inspiration – I’m going to punch larger holes and let my daughter do the threading herself (get those fine motor skills working!)
We made Dove of Peace decorations today – http://nurturestore.co.uk/make-a-dove-of-peace-christmas-decoration if you’d like to see them x
Love this craft what a great idea!

This is so cute and… touchable! I love it. I think I will cut a slit in each square and let my son do the threading with yarn – perfect activity for him (he’s 3) and then he can hang it on the tree! I’m thinking we could do a lot of these – maybe with different shapes! Your blog is always so inspiring, Allie, and while I don’t comment a lot, I ALWAYS read and always know I’ll come away with a great idea!
Thank you!
