Faux Gingerbread Ornament

Make a faux gingerbread ornament with a wooden shape, brown paint, and Kreinik iron-on metallic threadd. So easy and so fun to make!

Materials needed:

• Kreinik Iron-on 1/8" Ribbon in 6354 Green and Iron-on #16 Braid in 6010 Peal
• Household iron or mini craft iron
• Adhesive press cloth if using a mini-iron, or larger press cloth for home irons
• wooden shape from a craft store
• brown pain
• mini snowflake decal, or button with a flat back
• craft glue

Instructions:

PREP:

1. Paint your wooden shape brown. Allow to dry thoroughly.

2. To make sure your craft iron has a non-stick surface, attach the adhesive press cloth to the plate of the iron. This will keep the adhesive in the thread from stocking to your iron. If you choose not to use an adhesive press cloth, use a normal press cloth between the thread and your iron.

BEGIN:

1. Turn on. your iron to the highest heat setting and let it heat thoroughly.

2. Lay one of the iron-on colors at a starting point and press with the hot iron. Hold for a few seconds until the thread adheres. Continue working the design this way as desired. We decorated in twirly patterns using the green first, then the pearl on top, to replicate the look of icing. 

4. Attach the snowflake with glue in the center.

5. Use yarn or extra Kreinik thread to make a loop as the ornament hanger; glue or staple to the back of your design.
