Ornaments are my favorite thing to make at the holidays and these Poly-Pellet® Christmas Ornaments were so much fun! I usually don’t get to make ornaments for my own tree, as I am always making them to sell and they are usually made from all wood. But I love how these Poly-Pellet® ornaments turned out and they will definitely be hanging on my tree.

Materials:

Wood ornament cutouts (I cut mine out on my Glowforge, but you can buy them at a local craft store)
Plain and Dyed Poly-Pellets (You can see the YouTube video below to see how I dyed mine.)
Ribbon and string
Hot glue gun and hot glue sticks
Paint Pens

How I dyed my Poly-Pellets:

How I made my ornaments:

For my snowman ornament, I used plain Poly-Pellets®. I glued the Poly-Pellets® to my wooden snow man. I left the arms so that I could paint them brown. TIP: I glued in sections so that the glue didn’t dry too quickly.

Once the first layer was dry, I glued on another layers.

Once the glue was dry, I used a paint pen to paint the arms of my snowman.

I did the same thing with my Christmas tree ornament. I used the brown paint pen to color the stem of the tree.

I wanted my ornaments to be thicker, so layering gave it the thickness I was looking for.

I used small bits of the dyed Poly-Pellets to add details to my ornaments. The snowman got buttons, eyes and a nose. I added a ribbon for the scarf. The tree got lights or small ornaments.

I love how these turned out. You can get Poly-Pellets online at www.fairfieldworld.com.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Fairfield World is celebrating their 80th birthday, so I’m celebrating with them by making a felt rainbow ornament filled with Fairfield Poly-fil Fiber Fill! I absolutely love Fairfield World products and I have been using the fiber fill forever!

Materials used:

Fairfield World Poly-fil Fiber Fill
Kunin Felt Classic Felt 9″x12″ craft cuts: (1) Red, (1) Orange, (1) Yellow, (1)Apple Green, (1) Peacock, (1) Fuchsia, (1) White
Scissors
Felt Glue (I use Beacon Felt Glue)
Sewing Machine
Embroidery Floss
Needle

How I made it:

I began by cutting my red felt into to half circles at a length of 5.5 inches. I then cut the orange, yellow, green, blue and fuchsia into the same size half circles using the red one as a pattern.

Then I arranged them in the order of the rainbow and then cut each one a little smaller, creating a rainbow look. Then I cut two white half circles at six inches, slightly larger than the red one.

Using my sewing machine, I sewed the two white pieces together, leaving just a quarter inch seam and a two inch opening at the bottom. I then stuffed it with the Fairfield Poly-fil Fiber Fill and sewed it up!

I glued together the rainbow using Beacon Felt Glue. Next I glued the rainbow to the stuffed white piece and let it dry completely.

Once it was dry, using the needle and embroidery floss, I put the floss through the seam of the white pieces and tied the ends together so that I could hang it on the tree!
