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.
