These ornaments took a bit of imagination, I cut most of the pieces free-hand. The only stencil I used was for the gingerbread man body and I used the same stencil for the santa body.
I cut out 2 bodies for each of them and added the other pieces from there. Make sure to cut out everything before you start stitching.
Next, stitch all of the smaller pieces onto the front and back first. (the gloves, buttons, faces, hats, etc.)
Then, start at the top, leave a few inches of your yarn or floss and stitch around the edges of the body.
Before you get all the way to the top, stuff the body with your filling. (I used my felt scraps instead of batting)
Finish stitching the top, and leave the same amount of extra yarn as you did when you started. Tie those two together at the bottom, and tie together at the top.
Now you are prepared with gifts or this year's ornaments. Another idea is to stitch the year on the back and maybe your name or initials. Have fun!
These are available at my etsy store, click here to view them. Thanks for looking!
