I'm sharing a very easy cloth ornament craft.

We're decorating our home for Christmas with the vintage and rustic woodland theme this year. Very much "Adirondacks" style, where I came from. And after making some pretty gift tags with deer and elk illustrations from the Graphics Fairy, I thought the images would look amazing on the tree as well.

Once I adjusted the graphic sizes to fit within cloth ornaments approximately 3" wide, I was able to allow ten vintage images on one page. Then printed them out on a sheet of iron on transfer paper.

I drew various shapes onto two layers of fabric to cut out and sew them together for the ornaments.Once each of the shapes was cut out, I trimmed the images to fit in the center of each and ironed them on.

I used twine for a hanging loop, sewn into the middle of the front and back fabric pieces with polyfill stuffed inside. Just like mini pillows.

Then I allowed the edges to fray a little bit for a rustic look.

The vintage graphics remained crisp looking on the fabric.

They go perfectly with the Christmas decorating theme.
