How to Make Felt Bulb Ornaments for Christmas

1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the SVG file or PDF template at the end of this post.
2. Using your cutting machine or scissors, cut felt according to template notes.
3. Cut an 8-inch piece of twine; fold the twine in half and glue the loose ends to the top of one felt bulb shape.
4. Place the second bulb shape on top of the first; then use a blanket stitch to sew the two together, starting at the twine and stopping an inch from where you began.
