I love craft kits! Especially holiday craft kits that everyone in my family can make together.
The first week of October, my husband, son, and I gathered around the
dining room table to investigate my new Halloween ornament sewing craft kit.
We each selected an ornament to make and went to work. The ornaments you see
at the top of the image (on the right) are the first 3 ornaments we made. My
husband selected the pumpkin, our son grabbed the bat, and I chose the
candy. It was a lot of fun watching the guys sew their ornaments
together. These will be ornaments I treasure forever, as well as the memory
of making them together.
The ornaments are very easy to sew together because they have pre-poked
holes in the pre-cut fabric pieces.
Most often, a craft kit will include everything you need to complete a project. The Halloween DIY Ornament Craft Kit I have featured is awesome and really does include everything except scissors. I did substitute my preferred Aleenes Craft Glue instead of using the glue in the kit, but that is simply a preference on my part because I have used it for decades.
Halloween Ornaments Sewing Craft Kit
Halloween Ornament Craft KitCheck PriceThe kit includes:
- Pre-cut felt pieces with punched stitch holes for sewing together
-
Pre-cut detail or finishing pieces like eyes, teeth, stripes, etc
- Floss / thread
- Ribbon for Hangers
-
Plastic Needles
- Stuffing
-
Glue
While the instructions are in picture form, I would have preferred they
included written directions along with the images for greater clarity.
As a lifelong crafter, I knew what to do without instructions, but I am not
sure that would be true for a beginner. While making the ornaments
would be easy enough for a child, they would probably still need some
assistance from an adult to know exactly what to do.
To Make the Felt Halloween Ornament
- Open the individual ornament package and lay out the pieces
- Open the package with the thread & plastic needles
- Thread the plastic needle with the thread color that matches the two foundation ornament pieces
-
Stitch the two foundation pieces approximately 3/4 of the way together,
leaving an opening to stuff the ornament (do not cut your thread yet)
- Stuff your ornament with the included filling (do not overstuff. Felt tears easily)
- Stitch the remaining opening together and tie off the thread
- Cut a piece of the included ribbon and make a hanger for the ornament
- Glue the details (like eyes, teeth, etc.) on the ornament
Why Choose This Craft Kit for the Whole Family
Halloween Ornament Craft KitCheck PriceEveryone should know the basics of sewing. These kits will allow parents to teach their children to make the basic straight stitch, plus allow the child to get comfortable threading and using a needle safely because the included needles are large, plastic needles.
Not only are these kits great for children, but also for seniors with decreased dexterity. Again, the plastic needles won't poke or cut fingers.
No special crafting ability required. While I did find my experience helpful for stuffing amounts & glue preferences, it wasn't necessary. My son and my husband made their ornaments without needing my help, including threading their own needles, stuffing the ornaments, and gluing on the finishing details.
This kit really does allow family members of varying ages to make the perfect Halloween felt ornaments.
We will use our ornaments on our Halloween tree, but they would also make a
lovely banner for the door, mantle, or wall. They could be hung on
cabinet knobs for fast Halloween decor.
The kit is recommended for ages 5 and up.
