Embroidery Felt Bird ornament

This project comes from the same art magazine
as the bread dough snowflakes.

My  level of my embroidery was pretty weak,

But I wanted it so I did it....

 

Trace the pattern on to your felt 

{you could easily substitute
any fabric i would imagine}

Follow the stitching instructions for the embroidery.

Now, the only thing I know about embroidery

is how to thread the needle.

Oy!

I eventually finished the stitching,
 then cut the pieces out along the outline.

I did not stuff mine..I tried, but it was not a pretty sight.

I used mine as a wreath ornament for the front door.

Using a large sprig from our Yulemas tree,

I attached the Felt Bird and hung up.

I really like this project

so plan on making more of these in the future.

Rainbow would be gorgeous.
