WHAT YOU NEED * Yellow Craft Felt * Orange Craft Felt * Thread * Poly-Fill Stuffing * Ribbon * Sun Ornament Pattern HOW TO MAKE ITDownload the Sun Felt Pattern from here, print it out and cut it out.Cut from the Yellow Felt 2 of the larger Sun Bursts Shape.Cut from the Orange 2 of the smaller Circles.Using your sewing machine or hand sew stitch one Circle to each of the Sun Bursts. With wrong sides together begin sewing the 2 Sun Bursts to each other. At a point that you decide is the top sew a loop of ribbon to the top. 4 inches in length is a good size for the ribbon. Continue stitching around until there is only a small section left open.Add Poly-fill Stuffing to your ornament through the small hole left open. How much you add depends on how puffy you want the ornament. I kept the stuffing pretty minimal.Finish stitching up the rest of the Sun Burst. Place the Ornament wherever you want it.
Another idea is you could add herbs or items that symbolize the sun inside it with the filling. This could either be make into a charm or as a learning opportunity with the children. A third idea is to leave a very small opening in the bottom of the ornament and put one of the string lights from your tree inside it. It could give it a nice glow.
