I have renamed this week to the unofficial DIY Felt Week! I have three really fun felt projects to share and they all are so quick, you can make them in under an hour.
Today I’m staring off the week with these brightly colored DIY Felt Ornaments… and now I want to make a million of them!!
And if you are loving this felt ornament, check out how you can turn them into a DIY Felt Garland to hang them in your home or even on your Christmas tree.
Supplies need to make DIY Felt Ornaments
- Shades of Green Felt (I bought a green palette : Mint, Emerald Green, Lemon Grass, etc)
- Shades of Melon Felt (I bought a peach palette : Peach, Coral, Pink, etc
- Green Ruler (similar)
- Sewing Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Neon Pink Yarn (not shown)
How do I make Christmas Felt Ornaments?
Cut your felt down to size
All my felt rolls came in a 5″ width, so I measured and cut out a 5″x5″ square with my sewing scissors. Having sharp scissors is key to having a clean straight cut.
Begin folding felt
Next, fold your felt square into a triangle and then fold it once more.
Cut lines in folded felt
Cut three straight lines in your felt, starting at the bended side of the triangle. Do not cut all the way to the end.
Add hot glue to corners
Unfold your felt and lay out on a table. Grab the center corner pieces and using your hot glue gun, adhere the center corner edges together.
Turn your felt over so the loop you just glued is now facing down. Now, grab the second set of corner pieces and glue the corner edges together. Turn the felt over again and repeat this process until all the corners are glued together.
For the green set, I followed the exact same steps, but layered the emerald and mint greens on each other. This creates the dual color look which I LOVE.
Once the felt ornaments were completed, I added a simple neon pink loop to hang (and a pink tassel).
I’m not kidding when I say that I may make a LOT more of these… they take no time at all and I love how they spin and create shapes when on the tree!

Steal away (with credit, hee hee) because I’m so in love I want to make them in every color! And I bet using paper would only be THAT MUCH easier!! Can’t wait to see them, Gwen.
