Bugs and Fishes shares a fun tutorial for retro felt Christmas baubles, turning wool felt sheets into vintage-inspired holiday ornaments. The design takes inspiration from classic mid-century glass baubles, letting you mix traditional holiday reds and greens or play with retro pinks and pastel turquoises. You can stuff the baubles with a little polyfill for a squishy 3D ornament or keep them flat to tuck inside holiday cards as sweet mail surprises. The plain felt base is easy to customize using simple embroidery stitches, sparkly sequins, seed beads, and tiny ribbon scraps. With the free PDF template, cutting out the retro shapes is simple and makes a relaxing holiday craft to do with kids.
