Every Christmas I try to hand make all of my gifts. This can be very time consuming so I try to start early for the next year. When I saw a post detailing how to make the Peanuts charactors into Christmas ornaments I jumped on it. Here is a link to the inspiration: http://alittlegray.blogspot.com/2012/11/charlie-brown-christmas-ornaments.html
I printed the pattern and cut out the pieces in the correct felt colors. I stitched the various pieces on. Next is the faces. The original poster had embroidered the faces on. The felt I was using was pulling too much so I decided to draw them on using a permanent marker. I used the pattern pieces as a guide and traced the shapes on, going over them twice.
I was going to stitch around as the original poster did but instead thought that they would look nice stuffed. I did a blanket stitch around the outside to stitch the pieces together and stuffed them slightly with fiberfill. I then realized that I forgot to add something to hang them with! I added ribbon through the top and plan to hang them with wire hangers.
I think they turned out very nice :)
