Teddy Bear Christmas Ornament

We have been making the teddy bear Christmas ornament now for over three years. I have a supply of pom poms and templates in my craft area. Our tradition of making this special Christmas ornament is one we all look forward to each year.

In addition to making the homemade Christmas ornament they hold a lot more memories than store bought ornaments. Likewise, using a design of bows, teddy bear ornaments and white popcorn one year we decorated our tree for almost free.

Frugal home teddy bear ornaments are fairly inexpensive to make and not very time consuming. First, begin gathering all of the supplies to have on hand when needed is a time saver. Then, several of these can be made out of one piece of black felt.

Also, Make a few extra to hand out for gifts this year. People will love them. In addition to using these great ornaments for gifts, they also can be used for many decorations.

First, tree decorations, second, they can be used for wreath decorations, third, they can be used in an advent calendar.

Comparatively, grocery shopping is less costly than eating out. Likewise, homemade ornaments save more money than store bought ornaments.

Step three: Glue on arms and legs. Use black pom poms for the arms and legs

Step five: Glue on the two red bells to the second white pom pom.
