81 Festive Felt Christmas Ornaments

1. Pig in a Blanket | Heathered Nest

My daughter’s favorite animal is a pig. And since I was trying to create felt Christmas ornaments that could be removable from little houses, cases, nests and what-have-you, I thought a “pig in a blanket” would be a really fun idea to tackle.

The little pig even has a curly-que little tail!

2. Felt Starbucks Cups | Amy Latta Designs

Aren’t these Starbucks-esque ornaments delectable? They are making me crave a gingerbread latte ☕️.

3. Felt Tacos | Orange Bettie

EVERYBODY loves tacos! So why not make a felted one for the Christmas tree?

4. Owl Ornament | Heathered Nest

We live on some land with a fair number of trees and tend to find abandoned nests from time to time. So I decided to use this little nest to house our little owl felt Christmas ornament.

The owl can fly in and out of the nest so the kids can have fun playing with the owl before returning him to the nest which hangs on the tree.

5. Snowmen | BHG.com

Not just for the tree, any of these DIY projects could EASILY double as gift toppers! And what’s better than a gift topper you can keep and hang on the tree for years and years to come?

6. Scandinavian Gnome | Make Film Play

I love this little gnome idea. And the fact that you can customize to any color hat you’d like is great so that you can work with whatever motif you may already have on your tree.

7. Fox in Socks | Heathered Nest

When I was little my favorite ornaments were the ones that did something. A piece would move, or something would open, or spin.

So when I was creating felt ornaments I loved the idea of making little animals that could be taken in and out of their “home,” in this case, our little fox that snuggles down inside his own sock.

8. Snowman Softie | Felt With Love Designs

The little grin on this snowman is priceless, isn’t it?

9. Felt Quilted Stars | Swoodson Says

12. Gingerbread House | Shiny Happy World

You can’t avoid a smile when you look at the colorful, whimsy stitchwork on this gingerbread house ornament.

13. German Pickle | While She Naps

Do you know the story of the German pickle ornaments? We have one on our tree that is glass, and I’m very tempted to make a felt one, now! Check out While She Naps tutorial and the story behind this popular ornament.

14. Sunshine in my Pocket | Heathered Nest

Got a Justin Timberlake lover in your home? Or how about you?? Then make one of these little “sunshine in my pocket” ornaments for yourself (like I did 😂)! It’s a great way to upcycle some old denim pockets, too!

These colorful little ribbon ornaments would make such a fantastic addition to the tree.

When my three were little we never tried one of these felt board projects, but I sure wish I had! After reading through the tutorial, it sounds like it’s actually much easier than you’d think to make, as well. The kids can then have fun decorating their little tree however they want.

55. Felt & Paper Clip Skates | Krokotak

My grandmother made little knit skates like this for our tree one year with the paper clip runners, and they were always one of my favorite ornaments to hang on the tree. I don’t know how to knit, but I can certainly cut felt! So if you’re in the same non-knitting boat, this may be up your alley, too!

56. Cameras | Crafty Staci

As an admitted camera buff, I totally fell for these flashy little cameras 📸.

64. Vintage Campers | House of Hawthornes

These little pink campers are one of my personal faves on the list. I’m digging the whole colorful retro camping package.

65. Christmas Cacti | Dazzle While Frazzled

Cacti are all the rage. And personally, if given the choice between a prickly, for-real-type cactus, and a soft-colorful-non-prickly type, I think I gotta go with this felt variety.

66. Christmas Pointsettas | Weekend Craft

Michelle used her Cricut for this craft. I don’t have one of those, but apparently, you can cut special felt sheets on them! Isn’t that awesome?! She shows you all the details of how to make one of these on her tutorial.
