Felt Snowman & Gingerbread Men

Patterns and templates weren't available, so I had to make my own.  Click here to use the templates I made.

Here's what you'll need:

felt

pencil

scissors

needle and thread

small beads 

With a pencil, lightly trace the pattern onto two layers of white felt.

Next, cut out the shapes.

On only the top layer of felt, sew small beads for the eyes and buttons.
(The back layer of felt will hide the stitches.)

Put both layers of felt back together again and use white embroidery floss to blanket stitch around the felt pieces.

Glue a piece of orange felt for the nose.

Then add a ribbon for the scarf.

I also made gingerbread men.  The technique and directions are the same as the snowmen.  Click here for template.
