How Do You Make A Cotton Batting Ornament?
Cotton batting ornaments date back to a simpler era when the holiday ornaments were all handmade and filled with intricate detail. If you yearn for decor that reflects these simple times, it can be an enjoyable project to create original cotton batting ornaments out of scraps of felt and cotton batting. Sew a snowman cotton batting ornament by hand using embroidery floss and then embellish it with stitches and sequins. Cut out two snowman shapes with head, middle and bottom circles. Make the snowman shapes 6 inches high and 3 inches wide. Make the three parts of the snowman (head, middle and bottom) connected in one piece. Cut out two stocking hat shapes from the blue felt. The stocking hat should be a triangle shape that is an appropriate size for the snowman’s head (approximately 1.5 inches tall and 1 inch wide). Sew the snowman’s eyes, nose and mouth onto the head area of one of the snowman shapes by stitching one black “X” for each eye, one black “X” for the nose and a mouth shape
