Needle Felted Christmas Ornaments & Stocking Stuffers: A Handmade Gift Guide (With Videos)

Quick answer: ilovefelt makes needle felted Christmas ornaments and stocking stuffers by hand from wool. Most pieces are about 3 inches (7.5 cm) tall, cost $22–$76, and arrive in about 2 weeks. Order by December 5 for US Christmas delivery. Every piece below has a real video of the finished work, so you can see the wool texture before you buy.

Why give a felted wool ornament instead of glass?

• Shatterproof: wool won't break if it falls off a branch.
• Light: a 3-inch felt ornament won't bend a thin tree branch.
• Made by hand: each one is needle felted without molds, so no two faces are identical.
• Two jobs: a small ornament fits in a stocking on Christmas morning, then hangs on the tree every year after.

They are decorative art, not toys: hang them high, out of reach of young children and pets.
