How to make felt bow ornaments at home

You will need the following supplies to complete them:

  • One sheet of felt
  • a ruler and a pen
  • scissors
  • needle
  • thread

Here is how you make these lovely ornaments

  • Cut strips of felt (length wise) that are each 3/4inch thick. You will need 9 of them. The thickness of the felt depends on the size fo the felt you want to make.
  • Cut 3 of the strips down to 12 inches, 3 more of the strips down to 11 inches, 2 more of the strips down to 10 inches and the last strip should be 3 1/2 inches long. You can adapt the measurement a bit.
  • Twist the end of each strip into a loop and join the ends in a figure eight. It helps to remember that the backside of the felt twisted to join the front side of the felt. The felt should hold its shape. If it doesn’t, you can simply pin it on a cardboard or styrofoam.
  • Twist each strip into a loop, only leaving the smallest piece.
  • Take the shortest piece and connect the ends to form a cylinder.

  • Begin creating the bow by taking the loops (largest to smallest) and stacking them on top of each other.
  • You can use either a needle and thread to hand sew each loop together in the center or glue it.
  • Attach a felt loop on the back of the ornament so you will be able to hang it.
