The Simplicity Pattern for this adorable Gingerbread Ornament is available through the Cricut Maker. Just download the pattern, and you’ll have full access to the design to whip up your own adorable felt gingerbread ornament I’ll show you how to put it all together, step by step.
All the supplies you’ll need to make your Gingerbread Ornament are listed in the file’s supply list. Though, I would add the colors of floss. You’ll need brown, white, and black.
Start by cutting and marking all of your pieces.
Cut a small slit in the head for the safety eyes, then insert the safety eyes. Embroider the mouth.
Stitch almost all the way around the head, then stuff the head through the hole.
Stitch the hole closed.
Add the white pieces, stitching through all layers as directed.
Stitch together the arms and body, then stuff. I loved these Cricut tweezers for stuffing small spaces!
Yay! all the pieces are made!
Glue the white stripes over the wrists and ankles, using fabric glue. Add the holly leaf and berry. Glue on the buttons.
Glue the head and arms to the body, from the back.
Make the bowtie, then glue it in place. Add a ribbon and either glue or sew it in place.
Such a cute way to decorate a package, give as a gift, or make your own for the holiday!

This is seriously adorable!
Oooh I love him! Do you think you could add cinnamon scent to it?
I’m sure you could! You could add a little holiday potpourri inside when you stuff the gingerbread ornament to add a little scent.
Ooh this is so cute! I bet my boys would love to help me make a few of these this year…and you make it look SO easy! Thanks for the great tutorial.
