Make a Felt Gingerbread Man

Run, run as fast as you can… next up on my list of Christmas crafts is this adorable, felt gingerbread man decoration. With felt, ric-rac icing and big, Christmassy buttons, what’s not to love?

This guy’s made from two pieces of brown felt sewn together by machine and stuffed with a bit of wadding. I’ve used a red ribbon to hang him from the tree and chose three of my biggest, brightest buttons to adorn his tummy.

Want to copy him yourself? This gingerbread chap took me about half an hour. I drew the pattern freehand and took it from there. Give it a go!
