Timothy of Fantastic Toys recently emailed with a link to his tutorial for super cute felt softie Christmas ornaments:

How gorgeous would these look in different colour combinations, not just on the tree but hung on ribbon/string like a garland on the walls, across doorways, down staircase rails too?

These ornaments can be hand-sewn, machine-sewn and kids will have a great time gluing on the little embellishments.

They would look fantastic grouped together or one or two sitting on the shelf. How about in a vintage birdcage?
