Burlap Ornaments

Easy DIY Preschool Christmas Ornament

Today is the beginning of Advent. (I will be doing a post about our advent traditions soon)  As you know, I love the Christmas season.  The trees are all decorated, the lights are up and I am loving it!  There is something comforting about the white lights and greenery.  I also have a love of making Christmas crafts with my kids.  We have created a few different ornaments together, however these little Burlap Ornaments might be my favorite.  Cute, simple and incorporate two of my favorite things!

To make these simple Burlap Ornaments you will need:

  • Burlap – I used the back of a coffee sack, but you can purchase burlap at a fabric store.
  • White Felt
  • Permanent spray adhesive
  • White snowflake foam stickers
Cut a 2 squares of burlap and a square of felt to the same size.  Use spray adhesive to sandwich the felt between a burlap front and back.  This will help to add weight and stiffen the burlap.  Trace circles onto the burlap and cut out.

Kids love stickers, especially foam stickers.  They are puffy, come in all kinds of wonderful shapes, colors and themes all geared to kids.  I found these adorable snowflake stickers, and I knew they would be perfect for creating a simple ornament for preschoolers.

How perfect are these simple burlap ornaments.  All you need to add it the sting to hang them on.  I separated a strand of the burlap and a dot of hot glue to create our hangers.

I love how simple these ornaments were to create and how beautiful they turned out.  They would make a cute present from the kids, simple gift tags or as ornaments.
