Felt Snowflake Ornament

Take scraps of felt, add a little bling with metallic thread embroidery, and you have a fabulous snowflake ornament for your tree or to give as a gift. (Sews up quickly if you need a hostess gift at the last minute).

Materials needed:

• Kreinik threads from the Make Mine 3D holographic thread set (we used the Tapestry #12 Braid 033L, 1/8” Ribbon 001L and Fine #8 Braid 026L
• three 5” pieces of felt in various blue or gray shades
• blue, silver, or white sequins
• #22 Tapestry needle
• embroidery needle

Instructions:
 1. Using the templates below, cut out the snowflake shapes from your felt pieces.
 2. Embroidery on each felt piece using the Tapestry #12 Braid and Fine #8 Braid. Use any stitch you desire; we used a basic running stitch on one and a buttonhole or blanket stitch on one.
 3. Layer the three snowflake pieces on top of each other, largest in the back, smallest on top. Sewing through all three layers, attach the sequins using French knots, tacking stitches or similar using the embroidery needle (which has a sharper point than a Tapestry needle) and the Fine #8 Braid. You can also add buttons or other
ephemera as desired.
 4. Add an ornament hanger by sewing the 1/8” Ribbon in a loop at the top.
