How to make DIY felt gingerbread man ornaments

There are two ways to make this ornament! See the video for the glue gun method!

For the Heat N Bond method – grab your selected felt fabric and start by rough cutting two layers of felt large enough for your gingerbread man template.

Fuse Heat N Bond to the back of one layer using an iron. Let it cool, then peel off the paper backing and lay second felt layer on adhesive. Press to stick the layers together. You may want to press hard with your iron to get the heat through. Be careful not to melt your felt if you are using a synthetic felt.

Use template to cut out the gingerbread shape. Cut a few strands of floss or baker’s twine about 12″ long. Glue baker’s twine to the back side of the gingerbread man ornament. Tie tight knots at the top of the string for hanging.

Add bites to your Felt gingerbread ornaments

The template includes a template for a gingerbread man with a bite taken out of him. There is also a bite mark template if you want to put the bite somewhere else! To use the bite mark template, pin it to your gingerbread man wherever you want and cut it out. You can do this step before OR after painting.

Make the bitten gingerbread man ornament even better with a big frown or squiggle for his mouth! You can also change it up with X’s for eyes!

Poor little guy!

Decorate your felt gingerbread man cookie ornament

Now is the fun part! Use puffy paint to outline the gingerbread shape. Use a steady stream of paint around the outside of the ornament.

Next, add a face, bow tie, a button or 3, cheeks and more! Use a steady stream for lines or make blobs for a fluffy look. Get creative, then let it dry!

You can even use beads, embroidery thread, sequins or any other craft supply for more variations!
