DIY~Gorgeous Embellished Felt Christmas Ornaments! Super EASY!


Click on the picture above for a "close up" look at the ornaments!
These ornaments turned out so nice and I really enjoyed making them! The ornaments are lightweight, so they won't weigh down your Christmas tree branches and they have an exceptional sparkle to them! The lonely red ornament in the picture was kind of my prototype and the white ones are my finished projects. Don't miss this tutorial!

Materials Needed:

*White STIFF felt (NOT the sticky back kind!)
*Decoart Twinkles glitter paint in "Crystal"

*Filigree Metal Connectors (These are super inexpensive and can be found on Etsy or Ebay.)
*Flat Back Rhinestones of various sizes, textures, colors (I purchased most of mine when the Recollections brand was on sale for 40% off at Michael's.)
*Christmas Ornament Patterns (I Googled "free Christmas ornament patterns" and many patterns came up, however, I chose to use the pattern at this link:
