| 1) Trace and cut out two hat pieces from red
felt. Trace and cut out one collar piece
from green felt and trace and cut out two heads
from flesh colored felt.
2) Pin the two head pieces together and sew
around the face close to the edge leaving the
top section opened. Topstitch around the
ears.
3) Stuff the head with Polyester Fiberfil
(stuffing). Only the face will be stuffed
- the ears will not get stuffed. Then, sew
the opening at the top of the head closed.
Set aside.
4) Pin the two hat sections together and
stitch the two sides close to the edge leaving
the bottom edge opened. Right side out the
hat and place it on top of the elf's head.
Stitch in place.
5) Fold down the top of the hat as pictured
and tack in place with a couple of stitches on
the back side of the ornament. Sew a bell
to the tip of the hat.
6) Hand-stitch the collar to the lower
portion of the head.
7) Brush powdered blush on the cheeks
of the elf. Sew the two black beads on for
eyes. Glue the pink pom-pom on as the nose
and using the permanent marker, draw a mouth.
8) Thread a piece of elastic thread or
crochet thread through the back of the elf's hat
using a needle with an eye large enough to pass
the thread through. Remove the needle and
tie the ends in an overhand knot. This
will be your ornament's hanger.
Optional: Personalize your ornament by
writing the recipients name on the collar using
the glitter glue or fabric paint in a squeeze
bottle.
