These festive animal ornaments are based on traditional folk designs. My easy-to-stitch adaptation features popular woodland animals embellished with bright felt flowers and leaves. All the ornaments are made the same way--once you've made one, you're a pro and are ready to quickly assemble the rest of the collection. Both the bright colors and generous size of the finished ornaments make them stand out on the tree. Gift each family member their favorite animal ornament. These unbreakable heirlooms are sure to be enjoyed for years to come. Templates are included at full-size and do not require a seam allowance. This pattern is ideal for a confident beginner. * This listing is for a digital PDF Sewing Pattern.
