Ballet Slipper Ornament
Despite a few setbacks I’m still determined to come up with at least three dance-themed ornaments. Thankfully I think I’ve found a winner in this little slipper!
The hardest part of this project was drawing a template for the slipper and foot, but after spending an hour, or two, staring and sketching feet I finally came up with one that’s not too bad.
Supplies
Using the template I began by cutting out two feet from the beige felt and two slippers from the pink. NOTE: This template is nothing special as if you couldn’t already tell, but it works! Just right-click the image, save it or copy it, and then paste it into a doc. You can resize/print it from there.
I sandwiched everything together and began sewing a basic blanket stitch around the outside of the foot. Across the top of the slipper, I used a running stitch.
With the slipper secure on the foot, I opened up the beige felt and added a bit of fabric glue along with the ribbon-folded over.
After about a day of dry time, I cleaned up the edges and gave it a trim so that it all lined up.
Considering how easy this ornament turned out I think I might come up with at least one more felt design before the month’s over!
