We’re Having a Christmas Ball

Our felt ball bird ornaments combine roving wool for the head and wool-blend felt for the wings and tail. You can choose any color combination for your birds and easily make a whole flock for your tree. If you don’t have a Christmas tree, you could easily hang them up from our pine branches or some other type of faux branch.

For the final touch, we used cinnamon sticks for our birds to hang out on. Not only does this make a cute, little perch for them to “sit” on, but it also adds a nice smell to your tree!
