Make your own retro-inspired 3D Christmas ornaments using pretty colored felt sheets and our printable pattern template with no sewing involved!
DIY Retro Ornaments
Designing these 3D Christmas ornaments definitely brought on a lot of nostalgia. I can remember clearly those colorful, intricately-shaped and delicate glass ornaments from my childhood. Looking back, I admire them even more now for their beauty, each ornament so unique and pretty.
To make our version of these pretty ornaments, we used a mix of felt sheets in coordinating soft colors from BenzieDesigns. Choosing the colors was half the fun in making them! Also, you can cut out the felt pieces either by hand or by using your cutting machine since the pattern is available as a PDF and an SVG.
