Make Pretty Cardinals from Fabric and Felt
Choose Between 3 Ornament Sizes!
Pretty red cardinals made from fabric and stiffened felt will be lovely accents for your home every holiday season or throughout the winter. They’re simple to make, and the three sizes give you many options.
Hang the smaller versions on the tree, add any size to wreaths and centerpieces, tie them to gifts, and use the larger ones to make a garland. You can even tuck them into greeting cards for giving.
The cardinals are constructed by using fusible interfacing to fuse fabric to stiffened felt. Hand embroidery holds the layers together while adding details to the birds. Mini buttons are used for the eyes.
This is a fun project that is suitable for beginners. Excellent instructions illustrate every step.
