Ornament Gift Bag
For Day 1 of the blog hop I wanted to create an ornament for my tree. This piece of felting not only serves as an ornament but also as a little 2½×3" gift bag for the tree. I felted a small spruce tree forest on my bag with white and green roving. Next I stitched the felted front to a felt backing with a blanket stitch and added a cord. For a final touch I needle felted Christmas Ball to hang from the handle of the ornament gift bag.

Your little bag is adorable! I admire the look of felting, but haven't tried it yet. A special someone will enjoy getting a gift packaged in the little bag/ornament.

Ohh what a cute idea - we have an annual ornament exchange at work - I may have to create a special felt bag to place my ornament in.
