Instructions

Instructions

1. Trace cookie cutter shapes onto fabric remnants. Cut two of each shape. Cut out the shapes.

2. Place one of the cut-outs on the table, right side down. Run a thin line of permanent fabric glue around the perimeter of the cut-out, leaving a 1-inch gap for filling.

3. Press a matching cut-out, right side up, on top of the glued cut-out. Allow the fabric glue seams to dry overnight.

4. Stuff the fabric ornaments with cotton balls. Fill in the blank gap with additional fabric glue.

5. Insert a piece of floral wire into the top of the fabric ornament. Twist the wire into a loop for hanging on the Christmas tree (after the glue has totally dried).

Tips & Warnings

• Give your fabric ornaments a little scent. Spray a small mist of cologne or body spray on the cotton balls before inserting into the ornament.

• If you want to use ribbon instead of a wire hanger, simple glue a ribbon loop at the top of the ornament.
