thanks for the tut... very clear on how they are made. looks like lots of work, but i've always liked them

and i've always wanted to know how to do that, too. thanks.

these are all good ideas.

I made sunbonnet sue ornaments one year.They were really cute!

You could make a sock monkey using fabric....

How cute are those?

I've see really cute stick horse ornaments (could Google I'm sure) made of fabric or felt with either some sort of dowel rod or even a candy cane. Another ice is to find an old cutter quilt and cut it into shapes---hearts, angels, teddy bears, scotty dogs, etc.--then did the shapes in a white glue, let dry, and then glue on lace, rickrack or whatever to trim. If you don't find the quilt, you could make little quilted blocks and do the same. Actually, little fabric or quilted scotty dogs make great ornaments...Pinterest and google are both good sources for patterns and idea!

What about the patchwork teddy,elephant and cat. A building block small quilt with tumbling blocks.

wow, love all these ideas. thanks

When our kids were very young, I made them a homemade ornament of a tooth pillow each year. I let them choose the Disney character they liked the most, painted that picture on the little piece of material, stuffed the little pillow, on the other side, made a small pocket for the teeth they lost that year. Each tiny tree pillow was dated too. They are grown, with families and kids of their own, and still remember these tiny tooth pillows we still hang on the Christmas tree each year.

I've seen pincushion patterns for elephants and such that would be cute.
