These DIY faux fur ornaments are not only simple and inexpensive, but they make a great statement piece!
This year I wanted to create a rustic vibe with my Christmas decor.
This meant I would be incorporating lots of brown, earthy tones but I also wanted to mix it up with some whites as well.
Enter: faux fur ornaments!
I saw this roll of fur at the Dollorama and immediately I was drawn to the texture and knew it would make for some awesome projects!
Required Materials:
- Roll of faux fur
- Cardboard or small squares of thin wood
- Scissors
- Utility knife
- Ornament hooks
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks
How to make DIY Faux Fur Ornaments:
1. Cut your cardboard to your desired size ornament (I grabbed the flap of a box and cut into even square shapes).
2. Using a utility knife, cut a small slit at the top for your ornament hook.
3. Place ornament hook into slit. (ensuring it’s facing the front for when you hang it on your tree).
4. Cut your faux fur to match the cardboard. ( I had a little bit of overhang at the bottom but I simply tucked it behind using the hot glue).
5. Using a glue gun, hot glue the back of the fur fabric and then attach onto the cardboard cutout. Press down for a few seconds to ensure secure attachment.
6. Flip over and hot glue the overhang onto the back part of ornament.
7. Repeat for as many ornaments as desired.
It’s really so simple and creates a beautiful look, so clean and elegant at the same time.
You could even create a banner or garland for around the tree or to hang
from a fireplace mantel.
I always love quick and simple DIY’S that make a big impact.
