Tutorial: Folded fabric Christmas ornaments

Folded fabric ornaments are a unique and beautiful way to add a touch of elegance to your home decor. These ornaments are made from two circles of fabric that are folded and stitched together to create a mesmerizing and intricate design. If you’re looking for a fun and creative project to add to your DIY list, then you’re in luck! Crouton Crackerjacks is here to share a video tutorial on how you can make these stunning ornaments in the comfort of your own home.

I first discovered these ornaments while traveling in Japan. I was taken aback by their beauty and elegance and knew that I had to have one. I asked the shopkeeper about the artist who made them and was impressed by the amount of care and thoughtfulness that went into each piece. The intricate folds and precise stitching showcased the artist’s skill and attention to detail.

This experience inspired me to share this tutorial with you so that you too can make these beautiful ornaments for yourself or for your loved ones. The sewing process is actually pretty simple and straightforward, with just one seam and some hand stitches. You don’t have to be an expert seamstress to create these ornaments. They are suitable for all skill levels, and the video tutorial makes the process even more manageable.

These ornaments make the perfect handmade gift for your loved ones. They are an excellent way to show someone how much you care. The recipient will be amazed by the beauty and elegance of your creation, and they will treasure it for years to come.

DIY Kids Gingerbread House Bag with Free Pattern

I am just smitten with this felt gingerbread house bag.  This would make such a sweet special Christmas accessory for a kid.  It’s a free pattern at Benzie Design, designed by Gracie from Hello Gracie Makes.  It’s packed with adorable gingerbread house details, like swirls and stripes and scallops adoring the doors and windows. 

And while all those details might seem like this would be a complicated pattern, it’s actually not.  The bag itself is made from felt, which makes finishes edges unnecessary.  (All of those scalloped edges are just cut from felt, no edge finishing required.)  The strap is super simple, made from rope with knotted ends.  And all those details are made with some basic hand embroidery stitches.  Sparkle felt makes it extra cute.

The striped scallop roof is actually the top flap of the bag. A magnetic snap makes it a secure closure.  The rope straps are attached through felt loops at the side of the bag. 

They rate this project as an intermediate level, and it should take about 6 hours to make start to finish.  That’s doable for a Saturday project or a couple of evenings.  Full color photos step you through the entire process.

The project includes a shopping list for all of your supplies.  They’ve got a shop so you can order all of them from Benzie if you like and get exactly the supplies used in the project.  I noticed it includes a pair of scallop shears, which makes cutting all the scalloped edges for the roof and around the door a breeze.  

Finished dimensions of the little felt gingerbread bag are approximately 6 ½” wide x 7 ½” tall.  That’s the perfect size to hold a small book, a small toy, or a notepad and some cute pens.

Go to Benzie Design to get the tutorial and free pattern for the felt gingerbread house bag.
