2. Layered Felt Snowflake Ornament
Once you’ve got the basic shape down, try building on it. A layered felt snowflake ornament is made by stacking two or three snowflakes in slightly different sizes on top of each other, giving you a dimensional piece that looks far more complex than it actually is.
Cut three snowflakes in graduated sizes from white, silver, and pale blue felt. Stitch or glue them together at the center, offsetting each layer slightly so the points peek out from underneath. Add a small felt or wooden button on top to cover your center point, then attach a loop of ribbon for hanging.
These ornaments look stunning on a Christmas tree, but they’re also lovely tied onto a gift bag, hung from a doorknob, or tucked into a centerpiece. The whole project takes about 30 minutes and works well for kids with a little help on the cutting.
For a fancier version, stitch each layer with a contrasting thread color like metallic gold or soft pink. The visible stitches become part of the decoration.
