Felt Nativity Ornament

The idea came from Pinterest. Of course. Like many of you, I find all kinds of clever and inspiring ideas on Pinterest. But for once, instead of just pinning that idea, I actually took it and made my own version.

Mary is standing in my version, and I gave her a head scarf.

I sketched it out on paper and then traced around the "parts" for my pattern pieces.

A loop of jute was sewn between the layers so that the ornament can be hung around a doorknob or on the tree. Don't ask why I tied knots in the jute. It just happened. :)
And then I made, not one, but two. One to keep and one to give away to a special friend.
