How to Glue Flat Panel Christmas Decorations

Flat panel Christmas decorations make a fun and educational holiday activity you can do with children on rainy winter days or over Christmas vacation. In addition to learning crafting skills, kids and adults can make inexpensive gifts for friends and family. Below, find out how to glue a flat panel Christmas ornament.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Felt
• Scissors
• Pinking shears
• Fabric glue

1. Cut pieces of felt slightly larger than the pieces of fabric you plan to use for your Christmas decorations. Select felt in colors that coordinate with the Christmas fabric. Make sure the felt is large enough to leave a border of about an inch on all sides of your decorative fabric.

2. Use pinking shears to cut the felt to add a little more flair to the ornaments.

3. Squeeze fabric glue or hot glue onto the Christmas fabric. Trace the glue around the edges of the Christmas fabric to ensure that they don't curl. Make sure you glue the center of the Christmas fabric securely as well.

4. Center the Christmas fabric in the center of the felt and press down firmly. Allow the glue to dry, then attach ribbon to the Christmas decorations so you can hang them from your Christmas tree.

Tips & Warnings

• Closely supervise children when they use hot glue guns to prevent them from burning themselves.
