Penguin DIY Ornaments & Gift Tags

Christmas· Kids Stuff· Winter

It’s the most wonderful time of the year–Christmas Crafting Time!  At the moment I am a little obsessed with creating as many adorable little DIY ornaments and tags as possible (are ya with me?).  I am particularly excited to share this Christmas penguin project with you today because it is cute, it’s (so) easy AND it can double as either felt DIY ornaments OR paper gift tags.  Cool, right?

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-UnleashedPlus, I made a free printable template for this project.  This penguin project–either the ornaments or the gift tags–is also a great project to do with the kids, it’s that easy.

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-2Supplies needed to make your own felt DIY ornaments:

supply-list

  • Felt (black, white and orange)
  • Fabri-Tac Permanent Fabric Glue
  • Ribbon
  • Fine Tipped Sharpie Marker
  • Christmas Penguin Template < click to print

Supplies for paper gift tags:

  • Cardstock (white, black and orange…or whatever colors you like!)
  • Double Sided Tape
  • Ribbon
  • Fine Tipped Sharpie Marker
  • Christmas Penguin Template < click to print

As you have probably guessed, both of these penguin projects–the felt ornament and the paper gift tag–are pretty simple.  But, just in case, here are the details.

First, download and print the template on regular computer paper.  Click the link in the supply list.

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-3After you have the template:

1. Cut out the needed pieces.  For the ornament, cut out 2 black “Body” pieces, 2 heart feet, 1 beak and one smaller white body piece from felt in the appropriate colors.  For the paper gift tag you only need to cut out one bigger body piece.

2. Glue the smaller body piece onto the larger body piece, centering it.  Then, glue down the feet and beak.  You can also, if you choose, add some simple details to embellish your ornament, like I decided to add a simple little bow, but you could really have some fun here.

3. Glue on the ribbon hanger.  For the DIY ornaments, first glue a folded ribbon down, and then sandwich that ribbon between the two large body pieces.  For the paper gift tag, you can simply tape the ribbon hanger to the back.

4. Use a permanent, fine tipped marker to add eyes.

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-5And, ta da!

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-6Who knew that cuteness could be achieved so easily!?!

And, the most beautiful part about these DIY ornaments /tags is that they really are SO easy.  Each one might take about 5 minutes from beginning to end.  Sometimes I set out to make beautiful crafty tags for all of my presents I plan to give, only to get discouraged at how time consuming it is to make them.  Not so with these!  I promise, if you are on my list this year, your present will come with a cute little penguin tag on top!

Penguin-DIY-Ornaments-Crafts-Unleashed-7I hope that all of your holiday prep is going well!
