1) Trace and cut out two gingerbread shapes from felt using pinking shears.

2) Line up your gingerbread men and pin together.

3) Sew around your gingerbread man leaving a small opening for stuffing.

4) Do NOT turn right side out. Instead, just stuff with the Fiberfil and finish sewing closed.

5) Thread a piece of crochet or elastic thread thru the back of his head and knot the ends together. This will be your hanger.

6) Using the silver fabric paint - outline the gingerbread man with a zigzag motion on top of your stitches. I also drew connecting lines across the arms & legs to form his hands & feet.

7) Make a face by making two blue dots for eyes, 1 pink dot for a nose and a red line for the mouth.

8) Paint 2 holly leaves just under his face (steps to draw holly are below) and squeeze 3 red dots where the leaves come together to form the berries.

9) Make 3 silver dots down his belly for buttons.

You can replace the silver paint with red, green, white or whatever you like.
