What You’ll Need:

Make Felt Candy Ornaments to Decorate Your Christmas TreeCarefully roll up the layered felt, stopping to add a drop of glue every 3-4″ to help keep it secure and in place. Finish by trimming the ends and gluing down all three layers of felt.

How to Make Felt Candy LollipopsTo create a lollipop, glue a 3″ stick to the bottom of the candy swirl, and add a cute bow to the stick to finish it up. Use the embroidery thread and needle to create a hanger if desired.

How to Make Felt Candy Ornaments for ChristmasFor wrapped candies, take a 1.5″ long piece of felt, pinch it along one of the short sides, and attach to either side of the candy swirl with a dab of hot glue.

Cut a 14″ long piece of embroidery floss, and thread it on to the needle. Insert the needle through the entire candy ribbon (from the bottom to the top) and then back down again, leaving a large loop of embroidery floss at the top for hanging. Tie the ends together in a knot at the bottom and trim any excess floss. Alternately, you could also use the glue gun to secure each ripple of the candy ribbon, but I find the embroidery floss method to be much faster and less messy!

  1. Do you know if a plastic needle would work through felt? I love the ribbon and since it is simple looks a fun activity for kids.

  2. These are so cute and look so easy to make. We still need a few decorations on the tree and I have some felt – sounds like a plan

  3. OMG – are you serious!? These are so stink cute! I will be showing these to my daughter and hopefully making them as they look like so much fun to make! Great idea girl! 😉
