Star Ornaments - Sewing and Stuffing


OR-sew2

Line up two felt star shapes on top of each other so they match exactly and secure with a safety pin.

Using a small running stitch and your Salmon or Peach colored thread sew closely around edges of the star.

Make sure to hide your starting knot inside the ornament by starting in between the two layers.

Leave the last point of the star unsewn to stuff it.
