How to Make a Handmade Felt Gingerbread Ornaments

Start by cutting out the gingerbread body – You’ll need a front and a back for each ornament you make.

Sew the details onto the front. When cutting the zig-zag ribbon I recommend cutting it long enough to wrap around the back of the front piece of the body felt for a more finished edge.

Now sew the front and back of your gingerbread person together starting at the top. Use white thread and don’t forget to sew ribbon or string in place to hang your ornament.

Don’t forget to add a little poly-fil stuffing before sewing closed.

Add more decoration as I did with the scarf around the neck and attach a No Molasses Gingerbread Cookie Recipe Gift Card (file above) to the ornaments you plan to give as gifts.
