"Hand sew these beautiful snowflake embroidered Christmas ornaments for your tree or to decorate your home during the holidays. These are easy to create with a free embroidery pattern for three different designs, and require only three basic embroidery stitches. Even cooler is that they’re sewn from a felted wool sweater! This is a perfect low-cost handmade Christmas gift! Use the downloadable embroidery pattern to stitch the snowflake onto pieces of the felted sweater. But the piece into circles and hand sew the parts together. So simple and so pretty! "

If you loved creating the DIY Snowflake Embroidered Christmas Ornaments from Recycled Felt, here are three more Christmas craft projects that you might enjoy:
1. Hand-Embroidered Christmas Stockings: Personalize your Christmas stockings by hand embroidering festive designs onto them. You can use recycled fabrics or old sweaters to create unique and eco-friendly stockings. Add your loved one's names or initials to make them extra special. These stockings will be a beautiful addition to your holiday decor and can be cherished for years to come.
2. Upcycled Christmas Card Ornaments: Turn your old Christmas cards into beautiful ornaments for your tree. Cut out your favorite designs or images from the cards and glue them onto cardstock or cardboard. Add glitter, sequins, or other embellishments to make them sparkle. Attach a piece of ribbon for hanging and voila - you have a unique and eco-friendly ornament that will bring back memories of holidays past.
3. Felted Wool Garland: Create a cozy and charming felted wool garland to hang in your home during the holidays. Use scraps of felted wool from old sweaters or blankets to cut out different shapes like stars, hearts, or Christmas trees. Sew the shapes onto a long piece of twine or ribbon, alternating colors and designs. Hang the garland on your mantel, staircase, or Christmas tree for a festive touch that will add warmth to your home.
